Your thoughts about "International Journal of Theoretical Physics"

In summary, the conversation discusses the legitimacy of a journal called "International Journal of Theoretical Physics" in comparison to other predatory journals. The individual had previously received advice not to publish in predatory journals and is now questioning if this new journal is trustworthy. They have had one paper published through a transfer desk and are now considering publishing a second paper with minor revisions. The individual is seeking advice on whether they should publish with this journal or look for better options.

A year ago, I asked a question about two journals, both of which were predatory ( https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-open-access-journals-legit-for-my-cv.990744/ ). Thanks to the overwhelming advice I have received, I did NOT publish in either of those journals.

Right now I am asking a question about a different journal, that I did not ask before. Namely, I am asking about "International Journal of Theoretical Physics". Two things that makes it seem legit is that

a) My paper was sent there by a transfer desk at "Journal of Foundations of Physics", and I assume that one to be valid
b) I believe it is part of Springer just like the "Foundations of Physics" one is

However, what happened is that I got the first paper published (the one transferred by the transferred desk), and now I have the second paper recommended for publication with "minor revisions" (and this second paper I submitted on my own without any transfer desk involved). Now, given my track record that it is very difficult for me to get anything published, I am starting to remember the saying "if it seems too good to be true it probably is". Can you take a look at that journal and let me know if it is worth it publishing there, or whether I should look for better journals?

Thank you.

It's legit. It's also not a top journal.
