Predatory Publishing covers all aspects of predatory publishing,
including topics such as predatory journals, hijacked publications,
alternative metrics and fraudulent conferences, the book considers
the sociocultural, geopolitical, and technical impact of predatory
behaviors. Demonstrating that predatory publishing has taken
advantage of the open access movement, the author highlights the
negative impact such publishing practices have had on science
discovery and dissemination around the world. Efforts to counter
unethical and destructive conduct, such as journal blacklists,
peer-review sting operations, the implementation of the strict
journal selection criteria by the Directory of Open Access
Journals, and government regulations in some countries, are also
fully described. Predatory Publishing is a useful resource for
every researcher, practitioner, and student in the global scholarly
community. Individuals can expect to get a whole picture of the
practice by reading this book; and decision-makers will find it
informative to support their decisions. This book will be of
interest to those studying and working in the fields of publishing,
library and information science, communication science, economics
and higher education. People in other fields, particularly
biomedical sciences, will also find it useful.
