Predatory publishing
by Kanikaram Satyanarayana 20 Jun '17

Dear Co-ordinatorYou may like to circulate the comments of Jeff Beall given below.Yours sincerelyK. SatyanarayanaFormerly Sr DDG, ICMRNew Delhi [WAME-L] Jeffrey Beall's article in Biochemia Medica - - Katharine O'Moore-Klopf of KOK Edit <editor(a)KOKEDIT.COM> - - Jun 19 at 10:47 PM - To - - WAME-L(a)LIST.NIH.GOV - Message body Academic librarian Jeffrey Beall, who used to run maintain a list of “potential, possible, or probable” predatory publishers on his blog Scholarly Open Access, has written an article for Biochemia Medica: "What I Learned from Predatory Publishers" https://doi.org/10.11613/BM.2017.029 http://www.biochemia-medica.com/2017/2/273 Here is his conclusion: "Over the five years I tracked and listed predatory publishers and journals, those who attacked me the most were other academic librarians. The attacks were often personal and unrelated to the ideas I was sharing or to the discoveries I was making about predatory publishers. "Academic librarians constantly attacked me because I dared to point out the weaknesses of the open-access publishing model. Librarianship slavishly follows political correctness and trendiness, so it’s no surprise that the profession fell in line with the open-access social movement and attacked those seeking to tell the truth about it. Many of these librarians were untrue to the faculty at their universities, praising open-access but failing to warn of the traps the predatory publishers were setting. "So, it’s not only the scholarly publishing industry that needs reform and self-regulation. Academic librarianship needs to wake up to the problem of predatory publishers and be true to library patrons seeking help and advice on scholarly communication."
