From: "Jim O'Donnell" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2017 19:01:18 -0700 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. http://www.biochemia-medica.com/2017/2/273?t=1&cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&iid=c80e62cb81974fa6879b869bb6924837&uid=774480907&nid=244+289476616 This link should work as well: https://tinyurl.com/ydgy4h39 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 that should take you to the special issue: http://www.biochemia-medica.com/node/830 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. Jim O'Donnell ASU
