Sympathetic to India & China starting new journals, vg idea. BUT this SO isn't the way to do it, and I suspect that's not what this is about. No expert in this area but my impression of how the new Asian economies kick-start science is, they pay handsomely for top names (thinking Singapore, S Korea in particular), and that would be a good way to do this too - ie make a targeted approach to Professor Famous who genuinely does lead this field, and offer him £££ to be on the editorial board. Spamming random people is NOT going to raise anyone's scientific profile - quite the reverse. (Sorry, entering rant mode there - I know you know that of course.) I too have had the spams, and have assumed all of them are scams rather than government-sponsored attempts to boost Indian science. N
