From the Australian Open Access Strategy Group: https://aoasg.org.au/2017/03/27/not-the-beall-and-end-all/ “Assessing reputable places to publish is a shared responsibility; one that should (ideally) be dispersed among academic authors and their institution(s). Those who have a stake in such assessment may include – but by no means be limited to – researchers and trusted colleagues, students and supervisors, research administrators and research librarians. …The time is ripe for the academic community to encourage users of his blacklists – or, for that matter, users of any other list attempting to rank or articulate quality outlets – to actively adopt a broader suite of indicators and thereby build a stronger evidence base with which to make informed decisions on where to publish.” Cheers, Anali Maughan Perry Associate Librarian - Collections & Scholarly Communication Arizona State University Libraries (480) 727-6301 [log in to unmask] http://libguides.asu.edu/profile/amperry http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7173-4827 My pronouns are she/her/hers
