Today I am to going to give an overview of predatory publishing. Predatory publishing is when an author pays to publish an article and the publisher or the journal provides little or no services. Predatory publishing is most closely associated with open access. A reminder, open access has two factors. One where the material is free of any barriers to access which means its available to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Also there are few or no limitations to its use such as a a copyright restriction. OA authors usually pay APC, or Author Processing Charge when their article is accepted for publication. This fee may be several hundred dollars all the way up $3,000 or even higher. This is where the predatory part comes in. As the industry started to migrate from the subscription model to the author pays model some outright illegal or unethical practices started to emerge. Typically, a journal would receive a scholarly article and have it peer reviewed. If the article met the journal’s quality standards and guidelines, then the journal might accept that article. Once accepted, it might be professionally edited and a format or layout applied to it. The author would see these changes and, once approved, the article would be published and posted online. A predatory journal might have a very high acceptance rate, perhaps 100%. The article might never have been peer reviewed. Also, a human may never have read the article or edited it. The original manuscript might be used instead of a typeset or formatted version. And the author might never have seen any of the changes or, in this case, the lack of them. Predatory journals are concentrating more on the money aspect of OA then on the quality or how the discipline is being furthered. So how do you spot a predatory publisher? Jeffrey Beall, a librarian at the University of Colorado, has been instrumental in identifying these journals and these publishers. A link to the list he created is listed at the end of this video. Here are some other ways to spot predatory publishers: Is the journal very aggressive in asking you to submit an article? Check with your colleagues about the reputation of the publication. Read some articles online and look at the quality yourself. Do you recognize colleagues or institutions that are familiar to you? How are the articles edited? Are they relatively error free? How about the website? Is it user-friendly? And finally, with the editorial board, are there people you recognize on there? If you continue to have doubts, feel free to reach out to one you may know, or know of, and ask their opinion of the publication and how often they review for the publication. At the end of the day, quality and peer review are key. More on that later. Well that’s it.
