Science Council and FWF about dubious practices of some sciencific publishers

Kirstine's bookmarks 2018-08-20

Summary:

The latest national and international media reports on dubious practices of some scientific publishers ("predatory publishing") give the impression that there is also a serious problem for Austria as a research location. However, this is not the case. All available data show that only a very small number of scientists in Austria, who are in the per mille range, are affected by such practices. In addition, the local and international scientific community addressed the phenomenon at an early stage and developed binding standards.
