Open Access JournalsOpen Access Journals

• (+) The publication is available for free without subscription -> higher visibility, higher citation, higher impact (assume that people REALLY read before they cite) • (+) Copyrights belong to the author (different from traditional “page charge” ) • (-) Possible conflicts of interest in fee-based OA model -> The question of quality.

The authors pay the “open access” fee so that readers can access the article for free without subscription.

Traditional JournalsTraditional Journals

• (+) The author do not usually have to pay to get an article published (but some journals do collect a “page charge” from authors). • (+) The publishers need to keep the standard to attract the readers. • (-) Copyrights belong to the publisher -> Require permission for reuse of published materials. • (-) The articles can only be accessed with subscription -> Less visibility.

The readers pay the fee (usually through subscription) to read the article.

The editor-in-chief of a journal is to resign after claiming that the publisher, Bentham Science Publishing, accepted a hoax article for publication without his knowledge. The fake, computer-generated manuscript was submitted to The Open Information Science Journal by Philip Davis, a graduate student in communication sciences at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and Kent Anderson, executive director of international business and product development at The New England Journal of Medicine. They produced the paper using software that generates grammatically correct but nonsensical text, and submitted the manuscript under pseudonyms in late January. Davis says he decided to submit the fake manuscript after receiving several unsolicited invitations by e-mail to submit papers to open-access journals published by Bentham under the author-pays-for-publication model. He wanted to test if the publisher would "accept a completely nonsensical manuscript if the authors were willing to pay". Davis was informed by Bentham on 3 June that his manuscript was accepted for publication. The publisher requested that Davis pay US$800 to its subscriptions department, based in the United Arab Emirates, before the article was published. At this point, Davis retracted the article.

Beall’sBeall’s List:List: Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers

37

Not in the Not in the Beall’sBeall’s List? List? This doesn’t

mean that the journal is OK. Open Access business is growing rapidly. New journals appear everyday therefore one cannot expect an individual like Beall to keep updated on everything! Be aware of the dynamic nature of such a list and use it with care!

38

Editor and Staff

The publisher's owner is identified as the editor of all the journals published by the organization.

No single individual is identified as the journal's editor. The journal does not identify a formal editorial / review board. No academic information is provided regarding the editor, editorial staff, and/or

review board members (e.g., institutional affiliation). Evident data exist showing that the editor and/or review board members do not

possess academic expertise to reasonably qualify them to be publication gatekeepers in the journal's field.

Two or more journals have duplicate editorial boards (i.e., same editorial board for more than one journal).

The journals have an insufficient number of board members, have concocted editorial boards (made up names), include scholars on an editorial board without their knowledge or permission, have board members who are prominent researchers but exempt them from any contributions to the journal except the use of their names and/or photographs.

Business Management The publisher...

Demonstrates a lack of transparency in publishing operations. Has no policies or practices for digital preservation. Depends on author fees as the sole and only means of operation with no

alternative, long-term business plan for sustaining the journal through augmented income sources.

Begins operations with a large fleet of journals, often using a template to quickly create each journal's home page.

Provides insufficient information or hides information about author fees, offering to publish an author's paper and later sending a previously-undisclosed invoice.

Integrity

The name of a journal is incongruent with the journal's mission. The name of a journal does not adequately reflect its origin (e.g., a journal with

the word “Canadian” or “Swiss” in its name that has no meaningful relationship to Canada or Switzerland).

The journal falsely claims to have an impact factor, or uses some made up measure (e.g. view factor), feigning international standing.

The publisher sends spam requests for peer reviews to scholars unqualified to review submitted manuscripts.

The publisher falsely claims to have its content indexed in legitimate abstracting and indexing services or claims that its content is indexed in resources that are not abstracting and indexing services

The publisher dedicates insufficient resources to preventing and eliminating author misconduct, to the extent that the journal or journals suffer from repeated cases of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, image manipulation, and the like.

The publisher asks the corresponding author for suggested reviewers and the publisher subsequently uses the suggested reviewers without sufficiently vetting their qualifications or authenticity. (This protocol also may allow authors to create faux online identities in order to review their own papers).
