Added Journal of Arts, Literature, Humanities and Social Sciences (JALHSS) (despite being indexed by DOAJ). Details about the journal’s publishing structure: The journal is published by the Emirates College for Education Sciences (ECES, ecesc.net), whose website is vastly incomplete and full of stock images and dead links, putting into question whether the college even exists. The college is then part of the European University of Arts and Humanities (EUAH, euah.eu) in Salzburg, which again is mostly an empty website full of stock images. Even the photo (allegedly) of the headquarters in Salzburg is actually a photo of the university in Hagenberg. This “University” lists four campuses, none of which (except ECES) link back or mention EUAH.
