ABC RN Science Friction had a big story about science fraud today. Worth
a listen. Mostly it was about the Chinese Science situation where
publishing is required, so an industry of false results and false peer
reviews has grown up to support it.

A move to open access research publishing will need, I suggest, a well
resourced information campaign, and a well staffed anti-fraud unit.
Otherwise we are likely to see fraud on a scale similar to that
resulting from the poorly managed Australian VET FEE-HELP scheme.
Academics are not the most worldly of people and it is likely they
will make some stupid decisions when it comes to paying for
publication. Also it is likely that publishers, and brokers, will
attempt to game the new system.
