[LIS-Forum] Study of Predatory Journals

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.

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? warm regards SN -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
