Dark-side of OA
by D.V. Patwardhan 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Ref: Lis-Forum, Vol.No.121, No.18, 9th April, 2013. This has reference to the news from Ms. Swati Bhattacharya, IIM-C on “Dark side of the OA and the Indians are always in the forefront.” Article she referred was quite interesting and enlightening. OA involves payment of sizable amount of money by Authors to the publishers as “publishing cost”. This has attracted many “fake publishers” who are bringing out technical journals having name resembling of reputed journals and reputed technical events. We learnt that the “fake publishers” constitute their own “review teams” constituting Professors/scientist from reputed Institutes often not taking formal permission from the Professors/scientist concerned. Review process done is also questionable. In such a situation, it is difficult for a scientist/Professor to identify who is a “black/fake” publisher and who is “white/authentic” publisher. It is learnt that Jeffrey Hall, a Research Librarian at University of Colorado has developed his own “blake list” of publishers and the journals published them. There is need to give wide publicity to the name of publishers in such a list. There is also need for taking adequate safeguards for Open Access publishing.
