The "Call for Pagers"


This is an actual solicitation I just received:

ijcsiet journal call for pagers november 2014

International Journal of Computer Science Information and Engg., Technologies

INVITATION FOR SUB PAPERS

!
Dear Authors,

We would like to invite you to submit quality Research Papers by e-mail editor@ijcsiet.com or ijcsiet@yahoo.com or both. The International Journal of Computer Science Infor! mation and Engineering Technologies (IJCSIET).. As per the guidelines submit a research paper related to one of the themes of the Journals, as per the guidelines.

These solicitations seem to be competing to see who can have the stupidest-named journal and the most typographical errors in a single message.

Um, what's "infor! mation"? Inquiring minds want to know!

I guess the journal is one of the scam ones coming from the Indian subcontinent. My reasoning? Their use of language "As per the guidelines submit a research paper". The (to me) funny sounding expression "as per" comes from that region.
