Scholarly Open Access- a critical analysis

jeffrey

The predatory publishers are out there in larger and larger numbers offering their open access. It’s easy to be fooled if you don’t take your precautions and make sure you are dealing with a serious publisher.

The blog Scholarly Open Access is offering a critical analysis of scholarly open-access publishing. The blog is written and maintained by Jeffrey Beall. He has worked as a librarian at Auraria Library, University of Colorado Denver, in Denver, Colorado. He has been an academic librarian for over 26 years.
