  2. [Preprint] Are some academic #librarians providing misinformation about #predatory #publishing?

    👉 In academic scholarly communication, the #predatorypublishing debate is hotly contested. Despite errors, weaknesses and flaws with Jeffrey #Beall’s #blacklists, it is not uncommon to observe academic papers and derivative websites citing, using and promoting those now-defunct blacklists.

  6. Looks like my comment on #RetractionWatch retractionwatch.com/2021/09/07 wasn't published so here it is: «The study by Vít Macháček and Martin Srholec is misleading because it's not a study on #predatoryjournals, it's a study on #Beall's list. The authors found that most of the journals included in Beall's list are connected to certain geographies or languages. In other words, they showed that Beall's list can appear to be racist.» #nt
