Does anyone know if the 30% includes all of the journals identified by
Beall as "predatory"? Is there any other way for a "predatory" journal
to make money than by charging APCS (and sponsoring "conferences")?
Are all the "predatory" journals listed in the DOAJ? Are there any
criteria applied to journals that are listed there?
