What are the features of predatory journal lists?

Mainly examining lists from Beall, Cabells, & Kscien, a review in European Science Editing looks at how useful each list is at defining unethical journal activity and how they help spot such journals. The review includes practical recommendations to bridge gaps in the lists and make their assessment more robust.
