I confirmed with all the HIGHLY qualified members on the editorial board by e-mailing them and they replied saying they are on the editorial board. Also, SAP is a member of CrossRef. So, I definitely don't doubt their legitimacy. Also, I can change the contents of wikipedia anytime. So, I am not sure if it really counts as plagiarism.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459237318352254921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-30318818572644406972013-03-22T03:58:18.389-07:002013-03-22T03:58:18.389-07:00It gets better.

Interesting that they've listed themselves in the middle of a 6-lane highway! Gee whiz, if they go through all that trouble of making their website look "real," then make an effort to come up with a "real" address! Oh, and they need to update their copyright date-- it's still 2011!
