There is no list to leave. The journal's mailing list closed with the editorial platform in 2015, no subscriber address was carried over to this site, and nothing here sends email. That also means nothing here can stop a message you may be receiving: whoever sent it is somewhere else.
The form that stood here
It asked for the email address and the password of the account, and offered to mail a new password to anyone who had forgotten it. Both belonged to the editorial platform, and the accounts went with it.
Mail signed with the name of this journal
Invitations to publish, to join an editorial board or to settle a processing charge circulate under the names of small open access journals, this one included. A few details separate them from the journal that actually published on this domain.
- A fee
- : the journal charged nothing for submission, processing or publication, nor for colour figures. A request for money in its name is not from it.
- An open window
- : nothing has appeared here since August 2015 and no manuscript is being accepted. An invitation to submit cannot come from a journal that has stopped publishing.
- Subject
- : the journal published urology, and nothing but urology. An invitation that would fit any field at all fits no journal.
- The address that answers
- : compare the reply-to address with the ones on the contact page. Those are the only addresses the editorial office used.
- The ISSN
- : this journal is ISSN 2279-9419, published by AURO.it. A different number, or none at all, is a different publication.
What to do with such a message
Do not reply, and do not use the unsubscribe link inside it: both confirm that the address is read by someone. Mark the message as spam in your own mail client, which is the only place where the rule will hold. If it uses the name of the publisher as well, AURO.it is worth telling, since the name is theirs.
What this site holds about you
No accounts, no subscriber list, no address book. The user database of the old platform was not imported, so there is nothing here to cancel, to export or to delete. Correspondence sent to the addresses on the contact page reaches the editorial office and stays there.
