Dear User Gaba - On Nova - again

in insisting on the word lowest you absolutely distort the SENSE ranking of book publishers over the last years. Your disrespect of the work of others is really untenable in a public place like Wikipedia: in vandalizing my versions, you utterly ignore the facts

1) University of the South Pacific and Nova Science

In December 2012, the USP President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Rajesh Chandra awarded Fiji National University’s new Professor in Economics, T K Jayaraman, the Vice Chancellor’s annual prize for excellence in research for Professor Jayaraman’s study on a single currency in the region, published in 2012 as a book by Nova Science Publishers, New York (From Fiji National University Newsletter, Dec 21, 3(51), 2012, page 5, available at http://tkjayaraman.com/docs/books/Dec%203%202012%20Award%20by%20Univ%20of%20the%20South%20Pacific%20to%20Professor%20Jayaraman.pdf] The opinions, expressed by Ms. Phillips, quoted in the article, certainly do not represent the official opinions of the USP nor the opinions of the head of its Library, since Nova Science published none the less than 142 titles from authors of that University (see: https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/advanced_search.php?osCsid=f99d1a911db62adacfc4660d3425bb39], including three books by the Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of the South Pacific, Professor Biman Prasad (see: http://www.usp.ac.fj/index.php?id=2606&type=98)

2) The SENSE Publisher Ranking and Nova Science

The Dutch Research Consortium SENSE http://www.sense.nl/qualityassessment makes the first international effort at a credible international publisher ranking. The 2010 Report was based on 5 categories, and the latest is built on that.

A: Refereed book publications published by the world top of publishers B: Refereed book publications published by the world’s semi-top of publishers C: Refereed book publications published by other publishers D: published for an academic public (professional publications) E: mainly published for a non-academic (general) public

In talking in such a devastating way about the scientific works of others, I'd understand book companies very well if they take such matters to court. Within the Wikipedia community, legal threats are not very well appreciated, but certainly Wikipedia is not above the law, and I'd very well understand if companies like Amsterdam University Press; Berg Publishers; Dutch University Press; Fondo de Cultura Economica (Mexico); Greenwood Press; Indiana University Press; L'Harmattan, (Paris); Zed Books etc. - if called "lowest category" in public in reference to a Dutch SENSE Report, which in reality talks about decent international publishers and excellent national publishers, they take the matter to courts [and author's patience with the matter could run out shortly as well]. Not only the private but also the criminal law of many countries protects the creditoworthiness of a person, and in distorting facts so ruthlesslessly you open a pandora's box. Best wishes and reconsider please your wordings
