May I suggest that anyone publishing, or considering publishing, in a journal that is not included in a list like Qualis should suggest that journal. This suggestion should trigger a review by other scholars rather than simply being accepted. If the author has already published, it may be useful to the journal reviewers if the author provided evidence of the peer review process.

best,
