Rise of the predators: Business is booming in the murky global market of suspect and sham publishers and journals

Jeffrey Beall's bookmarks 2016-04-21

Summary:

One Russian-owned journal that may or may not be based in Warsaw, Poland, appears to have a fake editorial board and a bogus impact factor. Another publisher and prolifi c spammer with a posted address in Wilmington, Delaware, but a more likely base in Hyderabad, India, has closely copied the scope and aims of legitimate medical journals published by Amsterdam-based Elsevier. [First paragraph instead of abstract].
