Thank you Jeanine and Joy for those links, and all who previously responded to this thread. It was very helpful to hear the responses to the 'article' example, as well to have a continued conversation around Open Access. Diana, I am not working on this particular issue per se but generally as an academic was concerned to stumble upon it. I certainly suggest followup by those focused on this kind of ethics. ;) -Sharon -------------------------- *Sharon Greenfield* PhD Researcher Digital Ethnography Research Centre (DERC) School of Media and Communication RMIT University, Australia E: sharon.greenfield@rmit.edu.au E: sharon.greenfield@gmail.com M: 0404 904 149 T: @SharonG <https://twitter.com/sharong> *I and RMIT acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of **the land * *on which the University stands and respectfully recognise Elders past and present.* On 19 January 2017 at 07:32, Jeanine Finn <jefinn@utexas.edu> wrote:

Thanks Kalpana!
I tried to go to Beall's list and to my surprise, it is no longer available for consultation. I even found a recent blog post questioning its disappearance. https://debunkingdenialism.com/2017/01/16/what-happened- to-jeffrey-bealls-list-of-allegedly-predatory-publishers/
It is all very odd. Does anyone have any leads on this?

I would second the recommendation to look at Jeffrey Beall's list (he is an academic librarian and was threatened with a law suit in 2013 to the tune of 1 billion US dollars by OMICS, one of the firms he targeted which is predatory publishing outfit in India; the relevant legal statute in India was struck down in 2015):

Jeffrey Beall [1] has been doing this for some time. Incidentally, he is quoted in a New York Times article today about "fake academia" (everything seems to be fake these days) [2].
