The puzzle of Advanced Research Journals

Connotea Imports 2012-08-01

Summary:

"If this is another Elsevier deception, would it link to ScienceDirect from the ARJ logo? If it's a candid attempt to test the waters of OA publishing, perhaps to play catch-up with Springer after Springer's acquisition of BMC, then wouldn't it be more candid? If it's under construction, and a full explanation is still to come, why raise questions and suspicions by starting with vaporous journals rather than a clear announcement of the plan?"
