I found myself listed on the editorial board of yet another journal, the Singapore Journal of Mathematics. This was done without my consent. I do believe these are the same folk that gave us the South Asian Journal of Mathematics. A screen capture is below:

I am no longer listed on the editorial board of the South Asian Journal of Mathematics. Neither is Professor Razborov.

Now the story about how I found out I was on the ‘editorial board’. A serious mathematician emailed the entire ‘editorial board’ that his recent work has been blatantly plagiarized in an article published in the South Asian Journal of Mathematics. The offending paper has been subsequently removed from the issue and the pages of the papers following it shifted up to fill the gap. You can still view the removed article using Google’s quick view here.

I thought this was strange since I have never had any communication with this journal or whoever is running it. I was never asked to serve on the editorial board and, needless to say, I never gave consent. It turns out that I am not the only one. See:
