Why does ResearchGate have Ads for Hindawi Journals ? #PredatoryPublishers

Did anyone of you already receive #peerreview that was obviously created by #LLM? I can see how #predatorypublishers speed up their publication cycles, get rid of costly human interactions and deliver some seemingly plausible text to authors by just throwing manuscripts at a LLM and then let it generate reviews.

Reflections on #PredatoryPublishers from a survey of researchers: whole spectrum of responses including those who understood the publishers were predatory but still went with them as a way to progress their careers through to those experiencing cyber crime

Suggests institutions should take a lead in supporting #researchers to understand the #ScientificPublishing landscape better, and that needs differ in low- and middle-income countries

@erinnacland @ElisabethBik @academicchatter Is Hindawi refunding all those publication fees? #PredatoryPublishers

Over on NeuroDojo, @DoctorZen reports the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia won't fund publications in Hindawi, Frontier and #MDPI 🤨http://neurodojo.blogspot.com/2023/08/malaysia-puts-pressure-on-researchers.html Presumably they have reason to consider them #PredatoryPublishers but not stated in the annoucment... and did they mean Frontiers Media SA?

For those in #Academia, who still think there's a difference between #PredatoryPublishers and the "legit" nigh-profitable ones, some pieces of text seen in a just published paper in "Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution"

Given the properly billion of profit after tax, SpringerNature generates for Holtzbrinck's shareholders, what about hiring at least some English proof-readers?

Beware of #predatory publishing – but also of low-quality #blacklists
By Jan Erik Frantsvåg

👉 "We should be wary of low-quality #journals and predatory #OA #publishing. But we should also know which sources’ judgement to trust. Is the new website Predatory Reports a trustworthy source of information?"

Beware of predatory publishers

In all likelihood, you also get numerous requests to #review articles, contribute articles to special issues, compile or edit a special issue, or even to join an editorial board.

Recently colleagues asked me how to deal with such requests. Most of these requests come from #PredatoryPublishers such as SCIRP, MDPI, Hindawi and Frontiers.

so... re: the new discourse on #PredatoryPublishing #PredatoryPublishers... y'all know that's industry propaganda right? the "think, check, submit" thing is a dead giveaway. see the contributing organizations section: https://thinkchecksubmit.org/about/

Who exactly benefits from labeling journals as predatory publishers? might be the industry they're siphoning off business from. As APC-driven OA really becomes dominant, the big 5 will of course launch more of their own journals with indistinguishable practices, just a lot more lobbying and branding power. Don't take my word for it, that's just what they have literally said they're going to do.

I share Zen Faulkes' concerns about who exactly https://predatoryreports.org/ is and how they judge #PredatoryPublishers and #PredatoryJournals (most recently #MDPI, certainly now a questionable publisher): https://neurodojo.blogspot.com/2023/03/a-star-chamber-for-predatory-journal.html

P.S. Is Zen on Mastodon yet?

Point?—Same with all span, 1 in a bunch hits fertile ground. And they send our billions.

Getting out?—You can't, once the legit pubs published your email.

Why no warning? Well, Wiley (legit), e.g., took over Hindawi (semi-predatory) in 2021. It's good business, highest profit margins are made always by quantity not quality (we call that "free market")

Also, the legit and the #PredatoryPublishers may rely on the same cheap proofsetting agencies.

I assume I’m not alone in getting peer review requests that are entirely outside my realm of expertise. I wonder what possible keywords are linked to me in predatory journal land…
