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.

This is one of the very few books that systematically explores the
characteristics of scholarly communication outside the West. Over
the last decade the advances in information technology have
remodelled the foundation of scholarly communication. This book
examines how countries/regions in East Asia (China, Japan, Korea
and Taiwan) have reacted to the innovations in the conduct of
research and in the exchange of ideas. It outlines the traditional
systems of scholarly exchange in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan,
and then concentrates on the efforts of these countries/regions to
provide revolutionary ways of writing, publishing, and reading of
information produced by members of the academic community. It also
discusses the achievements as well as challenges in the process of
technology innovations, highlighting the uniqueness of practices in
scholarly communication in this part of the world.
Scholarly Communication at the Crossroads in China follows the dichotomy paradox to focus on both achievements and challenges at every step of the scholarly communication process, highlighting Insights and trends in academic infrastructure and scholarly behaviors within the context of local economic, political, and technological development. Since China adopted an open-door policy in the late 1970s, it has experienced a dramatic economic transformation. With a growth rate around 10% over the past three decades, China is now the second largest economy by nominal gross domestic product and by purchasing power parity in the world. Economic success has impelled restructurings in almost all aspects of the social and cultural settings. Among other changes, the new pursuits of education, research, and scholarship have redefined the academic community with its development across generations and ideologies.
