lkfitz's bookmarks 2016-09-30

Summary:

"In August, the FTC made headlines when it charged OMICS (an open access publisher known for its spammy solicitation emails, questionable peer review standards, and arm-twisting fee-collecting practices) with misrepresenting the journals they publish and conferences they host, as well as deceiving researchers by failing to disclose their publishing fees."
