Open Access
Open Access
Digital, online, free of charge & copyright free publications: ● don’t charge the reader ● charge the authors to publish (or use other funds)
Open Access Journals: making peer-reviewed papers available without subscription fees
Predatory open access publishing
Dishonest publishers trying to make money without furthering scholarship:
● Accepting articles quickly with little or no peer review ● Notifying of article fees only after paper acceptance ● Aggressively campaigning to submit articles ● Listing members editorial boards without permission ● Mimicking name - web style of established journals
