Wenn in deiner Publikationsliste plötzlich ein Artikel zu viel auftaucht, hat womöglich jemand deinen Namen für die Autorenzeile eines Fake-Papers gekapert. Ein Beispiel dafür in unserem Blog: https://www.laborjournal.de/blog/?p=14366 #PredatoryJournals #ScientificIntegrity #ScientificPublishing

Shaharima Parvin of East West University in Bangladesh presents her experience as a librarian.

"Information wants to be free. It also wants to be expensive" - Stewart Brand, 1984

Trust is at risk, but open access helps promote scholarly communication - however, many senior researchers believe all OA is predatory. Many academics want to publish asap, don't know about indexing, and lack funds.

Think. Check. Submit. helps teach researchers and others to identify predatory and questionable journals. Sofie Wennström presents at our conference in Oslo on how the tips guide authors as an alternative to block lists, allow lists, and the uncritical use of journal metrics. They also help journals ensure they are being and presenting as trustworthy.

What are the features of predatory journal lists?

A recent Review in European Science Editing compares and contrasts the lists to better understand how useful each list is at characterizing unethical journal activity, and the value of the information they provide in helping authors and the academic community to easily identify such journals.

Last year, Scopus blitzed all links to journal websites from their profiles in a clumsy reaction to their data being infiltrated by journal hijackers, i.e., fraudsters who pose as a real journal.

Did it work? No. They're still indexing hijacked content, notes Anna Abalkina on Retraction Watch.

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.

Wow! Very Potential! So mRNA!

If we make everything about money and profits, I guess we can't be surprised it gets infested with scams.

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?"

6 years ago: Beall's List bowed out

A criterion for Jeffrey Beall's infamous list of 'predatory journals' was "Has no policies or practices for digital preservation". His own blog vanished in January 2017 without being formally archived, though various copies live on.

On LinkedIn, Alex Zhavoronkov is celebrating (?) publishing nonsense in #Oncoscience in a day using ChatGPT. Citing the EiC likely helped. The AI churned out text on Pascal’s wager in the context of Rapamycin that fails to develop an argument linking religious belief to the merits of life extension.

I hope this is a sting and Alex doesn't stand by the inane content.

[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.

Looks like my comment on #RetractionWatch https://retractionwatch.com/2021/09/07/authors-object-after-springer-nature-journal-cedes-to-publisher-frontiers-demand-for-retraction/ 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
