From: Bill Cohen <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:46:55 -0400 I understand from Jeffrey Beall that a disgruntled "publisher" given negative scoring and included on his list implied a threat (I think, worded vaguely enough) to send out such a communication far and wide. I believe many librarians in Jeffrey's home state of Colorado seem to have received this email, and also librarians on his campus.

It came from a Dr. Ashok Khuranaa [[log in to unmask]] and suggested that the Beall list is motivated by a desire to damage a large number of journals from developing countries and a desire to gain visibility. We were wondering if others have received similar communications? Regina University of Colorado at Boulder Head of ILL Borrowing University of Colorado Boulder
