Hi all,
As a postscript I can report I followed Maria Cristina's advice and wrote
to the editor of the "International Journal of Natural and Engineering
Sciences", whose contributors nevertheless all appear to be Turkish,
published by Nobel Publishing, self-described as "one of the largest
publishers in Turkey", aspiring to "serve mankind by publishing knowledge"
There was no response to my complaint and offer of help with reviewers. If
this journal wishes to improve its standards to get out of the gutter
press zone and become of good reputation, it isn't doing too well at the
moment.
