Impact of Social Sciences – Predatory journals and defective peer review are general academic problems, not just open access problems.

alespierno's bookmarks 2017-11-03

Summary:

"The recent “sting” article in Science exposed certain predatory journals for publishing clearly erroneous scientific results in exchange for money. Ernesto Priego emphasises the bias in the conclusions drawn from this article and its illegitimate attack on open access publication. But regardless of the business model of the publication, peer review, especially in the humanities, is certainly in need of greater attention and improvements."
