Beall~Rs List of Predatory Publishers 2013 (fwd)

Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2012 21:51:01 -0800 From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com> Bealls List of Predatory Publishers 2013 By Jeffrey Beall Released December 4, 2012 The gold open-access model has given rise to a great many new online publishers. Many of these publishers are corrupt and exist only to make money off the author processing charges that are billed to authors upon acceptance of their scientific manuscripts. There are two lists below. The first includes questionable, scholarly open-access publishers. Each of these publishers has a portfolio that ranges from just a few to hundreds of individual journal titles. The second list includes individual journals that do not publish under the platform of any publisher they are essentially independent, questionable journals. In both cases, we recommend that researchers, scientists, and academics avoid doing business with these publishers and journals. Scholars should avoid sending article submissions to them, serving on their editorial boards or reviewing papers for them, or advertising in them. Also, tenure and promotion committees should give extra scrutiny to articles published in these journals, for many of them include instances of author misconduct. There are still many high-quality journals available for scholars to publish in, including many that do not charge author processing fees. An additional option is author self-archiving of articles in discipline-specific and institutional repositories. The author is grateful to the many colleagues who have shared information about potential predatory publishers. Last years list included 23 publishers, and this years has over 225, evidence of the rapid growth in the number of predatory journals and publishers. This list will be updated throughout the year at the blog *Scholarly Open Access*, http://scholarlyoa.com. The criteria for inclusion in the lists can be found here<http://scholarlyoa.com/2012/11/30/criteria-for-determining-predatory-open-a…>. The authors email address is: jeffrey.beall(a)ucdenver.edu.

Why are you posing the request in LIS-Forum? If the paper in question is difficult to get, after exhausting your resources and all efforts, as a last resort if you ask LIS_FORUM members, then it is fine. Despite the article is shown as available for a fee from Wiley journal site, I can locate a free pdf download in five seconds. WHY CAN'T YOU DO it? This is my question. You are a librarian, after all. And your post itself is very matter of fact and I consider it as impolite. Other members of the Forum are welcome to comment on librarians taking the easy / lazy path of just leaving an article request in Lis-forum without exerting any other effort on their part.

Wanted: intellectual leaders, not CEOs
by Vasanth 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Dear Sir/Madam, There is an interesting editorial entitled "Wanted: intellectual leaders, not CEOs" in The Hindu on 1 December 2012 on Indian higher education and universities. The editorial discusses the need of having Vice Chancellor with strong intellectual vigor not CEOs for marketing education in universities. Excerpt of the article: As the dictionaries tell us, and as every educated person knows, ‘education’ involves something more than mere knowledge, training, or skill. The ‘something more’ is hard to describe and harder still to evaluate. This is particularly true in our hyper-technological age, when there is nothing ‘mere’ about invaluable assets like knowledge, training or skill, together summarised as competence. That is why there is great ambivalence today about whether universities and colleges should impart anything more or other than competence. Most higher educational institutions either do not feel they need to, or are actually unable to do so. However, even elite public universities — institutions best placed to pursue the traditional ideals of education — are floundering. Most worrisome is the fact that the logic of their institutional position seems to make Vice Chancellors and other institutional heads part of the problem rather than the solution..... You can access the full text of the article on the following link: http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/wanted-intellectual-leaders-not-ceos/a… ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
