Criteria

When some email makes me feel abused, forced or cheated, its metadata are added to this project. It is possible that a legitimate event or publication is wrongly included. If I cannot make myself sure within a minute that the message is trustful, it is spam. In a nutshell:

No tracking —

• No email lists even if there is "unsubscribe" option
• No mass email service before we have established contact
• No trackers in links, images and buttons

No concealing —

• No fake email addresses, domains or IP addresses
• No links hidden behind other texts or images
• No texts as images, except for logos

No begging —

• No asking to write or to review a paper
• No invitation to a conference or to a program committee
• No offers for editing or publishing services, even for free

No impersonating —

• No mimicking other sites or faking IF/SJR metrics
• No sending email from public emails services
• No emails about unknown events or journals, without proper contact
