The discussion centers on the credibility of the International Journal of Cosmology, Astronomy and Astrophysics (IJCAA). Participants express caution regarding the journal's reputation, noting that while it does not appear to be predatory, some articles may lack professionalism. Key considerations for evaluating the journal include checking its Thomson Reuters impact factor and ISI indexing status. Additionally, participants suggest assessing how often articles from IJCAA are cited and whether authors from reputable sources also publish in this journal. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of thorough research before deciding to submit work to IJCAA.

Is the International Journal of Cosmology, Astronomy and Astrophysics (IJCAA) (https://madridge.org/journal-of-cosmology-astronomy-and-astrophysics) a respectable journal? I received from them an invitation, and it looks like a journal that could fit for something I would like to publish. However, I have a wary feeling. As far as I can see, it is not a predatory journal, but the articles look at times a bit amateurish. Does anyone know it? Any advice?

You can tell for yourself. How many of the articles you are reading have been published by that journal? How many cite that journal? How many authors who oublish in what you are already reading also publish in that journal?

First thing to check is its Thomson Reuters impact factor and whether it's indexed with ISI.

Thread 'PSA -- Contact PI's before applying to graduate school in the US'

Given the current funding situation, you should contact potential departments or research groups before you apply and pay any application fees. Many programs are not taking new graduate students at all this cycle because of funding uncertainty, unless a specific advisor can show they already have money to support you for five years. This is what I’ve heard directly from 20–30 programs. Do not waste money applying blindly.
