What about the idea : research published only non profit OA journals should be taken into account. Wouldn't this push the predatory OA journals by competition out of business ? I think that this again supports the conclusion that the idea of journals altogether should be discarded, as

Dear Graham, You are right. We simply cannot accept any journal where anyone has to pay anything. There is no place for money exchange in knowledge published in scholarly journals. Any monetary exchange could lead, sooner or later, to malversations and corruptions or limit to access to the

To get an idea of the size of the problem of ‘predatory' publishers, does anybody know: a) the proportion of papers published each year in ‘predatory’ publishers compared to the total number of papers published worldwide; or even b) the proportion of papers published each year in ‘predatory’

Nobody said he was inventing the problem. I just want to know the size of it. So what’s your definition of ‘tiny’ Stevan? I would say if articles in ‘predatory’ journals make up less than 5% of total number of paper published, or of papers published in Gold OA, or even of papers published in

Of course being trapped by a predatory publisher is a terrible thing for an individual. Just as sending your bank details to a Nigerian oil scammer and ending up being ripped off is a terrible thing. And some of these 'publishers' are behaving reprehensibly. But I think we have the right

Thank you for taking this on, Richard. One thought is whether it would be in the best interests of OA to welcome and encourage internal critique. Perhaps if we were quicker to denounce predatory practices, we would have more credibility when we support true friends of OA (to me, this of
