Jeffrey Beall of the University of Denver has published, in a serious
peer-reviewed journal, an article outlining the history of the
'predatory list' and his views on the landscape of journal publishing.

It is one of five pieces on predatory journals in this special issue
of the journal Biochemia Medica, a distinctive venue. Here is a link

Beall's unorthodoxy is palpable, his arguments vigorous. His largest
concern is with the damage done to the quality of science by the
profusion of unreliable sources. He doesn't quite say "fake science!"
but that is the direction in which he points. Well worth reading.
