Following the impact factor: Utilitarianism or academic compliance?. One day I hope to make it machine readable and better organised. How academics, librarians and their institutions handle the multiple shades of grey – and where they draw economic and professional lines between legitimate and illegitimate – in modern publishing will be a much larger and more profound challenge. Kyle Siler argues that predatory publishing encompasses a spectrum of activities and that by understanding this ambiguity, we can better understand and make value judgements over where legitimacy lies in scholarly communication. We will investigate submissions to verify them, but our time is limited and more information helps us to verify more quickly.Disclaimer: This site is in no way affiliated with the now defunct ScholarlyOA or its creator/maintainer. Hall, C. M., & Page, S. J. Tourism Management, 51, 309-312.). Social Science Journals is forum for publishing research and reviews journal of social science. Further complicating definitions of predatory publishing, are the existence of what could be called grey journals and publishers, occupying quasi-legitimate niches between whitelists and blacklists. The journal publishes original research papers at the forefront of humanities and social sciences.

Evaluating obvious black-and-white cases of predatory publishing (for instance here, here, here and here) is relatively simple. I eschew using ‘black’ to refer bad and ‘white’ to refer to good since this reinforces racial stereotypes. Enter the email address you signed up with and we'll email you a reset link. See the other list for publishers potentially engaging in predatory practices. SPG uses an Gold open-access model of publishing which charges the authors. A valuable commentary. In such a situation perhaps the focus needs to be more on the quality dimensions of what is published and how it comes to be published rather than payment per se. Publishers Standalone Journals Vanity Press Contact Other Hello. Further complicating matters is that there are different types and combinations of predation. Social Science Journals. Predatory journals are here, but our attention to them is unevenly distributed. The main objective of ARJHSS is to provide an intellectual platform for the international scholars.ARJHSS aims to promote interdisciplinary studies in Humanities & Social Science and become the leading journal in Humanities & Social Science in the world. Thanx for this valuable work, and thanx for making a version of the full paper available green open access. But, I assume that, in most cases, non-predatory journals are able to follow guidelines for objective and reliable publishing of articles. Shanwal, Gautam Buddha University. Required fields are marked *. We further limited our research to articles in which data were collected and analyzed … Meanwhile, both established and upstart publishers compete for market share in the multi-billion dollar industry of academic publishing. The role played by peer review is key to this issue. Also, while it’s true that most people are too shy to openly call out any sufficiently rich publisher as “predatory”, the definition, the “Ottawa definition” is clearly able to cover them: «Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritize self-interest at the expense of scholarship and are characterized by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices». The Open Journal of Social Sciences (JSS) is an openly accessible journal published monthly. The journal publishes research papers in three broad specific fields as follows: The study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life. Predatory journals This is a great example of the kinds of predatory journals that everyone was speaking about yesterday. This page provides the url for Jeffrey Beall's list of suspicious scholarly open-access journals Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Inspired by the large-scale efforts of John Bohannon, of Science magazine, I decided to see how easy it would be to get a nonsensical paper get accepted by one of these predatory journals publishing (supposedly) in the humanities and social sciences – or even to get a fake author onto one of their Editorial Boards. To address the rise of predatory publishing in the social sciences, journals need to experiment with open peer review.

Most studies on predatory publishing have looked at the phenomenon in the natural and life sciences. Both scholars and publishers have strong interests in definitions of predatory publishing.
