Re: [LIS-Forum] Study of Predatory Journals

The irony is that one group of LIS fraternity is publishing their papers in these predatory and dubious journals while the other group of people are making hue and cry about these journals. Is this not double standard? Koteswara Rao Retd. Librarian, UOH Sent from my iPhone

Dear All,

Greeting.

Of recent, there has been an explosion of FREE to access and PAY to publish business models in the STM domain.

I have been observing a growing set of new metrics that are being put in place by the new business model publishers. Most importantly, various websites are publishing details of predator publishers and some names are quite common to all of us.

Would appreciate to understand the stand of senior library professionals on the topic and what is the impact of such content on library budgets and research quality?
