List of predatory open-access journals
- lutusp 14y agoThe solution should be obvious -- rather than list questionable gray-area journals, some of which are absolutely predatory and some less so, we should make a list of journals with impeccable credentials, by some vetting process. Among other advantages, this would result in a much shorter list. Some will object that this flies in the face of free-expression principles and smacks of authoritarianism, but to me the existence of hundreds of faux-science journals, and the occasional story of a perhaps naive scholar falling into the tar pit, is a much worse problem.
