Tha appears to be the case here, as this journal is brand new and has no articles yet.

Then they use these good articles to attract articles from others, and the later articles are not as good because they do a lax peer review, or none at all.

Regarding the editorial board for this journal, there are seven members. There are a lot of OA electrical engineering journals. I can’t comment on the ed board members credentials, but I note the lack of any from the US.

My advice: avoid this publisher — find a better one.

“Science and Engineering Publisher” (which for whatever reason is abbreviated SEI??) invited me for a paper, surprisingly free of charge. I am getting many such invitations, of course I don’t waste my time and name with it, and it surprised me they don’t want money.

Q: Are the professors on the editorial board serious academics, or fakes?

In this case, the publisher is Science and Engineering Publishing Company, and this publisher is already on my list. Still, thank you for the tip. –Jeffrey Beall.

I still suspect that they are predatory. They invited me to “join the Editorial Board of our journal.” But when I looked up the journal homepage to see if this journal was being founded by credible individuals in my field, there seemed to be no one on the board yet.

Just see
http://www.serialspublications.com/contentnormal.asp?jid=596&jtype=1
and select an article and google its title.
They publised the same article in a number of journals.

not just unethical; complete nonsense!
