[...] We would like to point out that PAGEPress was listed in the “watch list” (meaning not listed as a sure Predatory publisher as Bell says “we do not consider the following publishers to be predatory, open-access publishers, but they may show some characteristics of them, and we are closely monitoring them”) in 2012. Currently (2013), we are not present in that list any longer. Please see at: http://scholarlyoa.com/2012/12/06/bealls-list-of-predatory-publishers-2013/#more-1036 [...]

Comment on Corrupt New Publisher Fakes Association with Reed Elsevier by Schmuck
hoicsi,
Good science will always find its way into good publication. Good science has to pass the critical review of our peers and we have to be able to address their concerns. Hopefully, in the future, somebody will be able to repeat and build on our results.
However, if you are looking for a quick payoff you will accept to send your hard earned science to somebody who does not give a rat whatever you are saying as long as you pay their fees. By definition, this is predatory practice on both the author and the publisher side.

Comment on Did Dr. Krashen Commit Self-Plagiarism? by Neza
Plagiarism is “an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of ANOTHER author without authorization and the representation of that author’s work as one’s own, as by not crediting the original author.” Thus “self-plagiarism” is a contradiction in terms, for starters, unless we go the Alice In Wonderland route of arbitrarily re-defining words as we please.
In any case, the central ethical violation of plagiarism is stealing someone else’s work – how can you steal from yourself. “Double-dipping” may be unethical or in breach of the rules, but it hardly seems equivalent to theft.

Comment on Did Dr. Krashen Commit Self-Plagiarism? by Jeffrey Beall
Who is the “original author” of all the quotes in your comment?
Self-plagiarism is a serious ethical lapse. Journals always ask authors to warrant that their manuscripts are original work. Would you be happy working at or attending a university where all the professors were self-plagiarists?

Comment on Did Dr. Krashen Commit Self-Plagiarism? by Frank Lu
The analogy with stealing is not correct. The ethical issue is somewhere else — see the reference above in my previous reply: http://doctoralwriting.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/recycling-old-papers-and-self-plagiarism-is-it-a-sin/.
Self-plagiarism in its worst form spins the same information with practically identical words, wasting the reader’s time with no net increase in knowledge perhaps benefiting only the author and the subsequent publisher(s). Spinning the same information with different words is almost as bad. There are certain exceptions especially in the sciences. For example, there are not too many ways of writing certain equations and we are all familiar with those ways. There is no plagiarism or self-plagiarism in this case.
Another exception is when one is writing a review paper. In this case, chunks of writing (hopefully not large chunks) may be quoted verbatim but should be properly attributed.
One awkward byproduct of self-plagiarism even though the commentator felt that it is not stealing is that the copyright has generally been assigned to the publisher. Publishers usually do not press this issue but legally the work is now theirs. On the other hand, authors of journal articles allow these publishers to make money at their expense!

Ashley, I agree that we seem to have gone off track here.

Comment on Did Dr. Krashen Commit Self-Plagiarism? by moom
I’m thinking it is likely that standards are different in the humanities and in social and natural sciences. I read on the Chronicle Fora that it is considered bad to give the same paper at seminars and conferences multiple times. By contrast, in economics it is highly recommended that in order to prepare a paper for journal submission you should present it in as many fora as possible and get comments to improve your paper. Similarly, including introductory material or methods detail in more than one paper is acceptable as long as each journal article also present substantial new results and/or data.

Comment on OMICS Ineptly Uses Social Media to Promote its Brands by dianabuja
Unfortunately, they may be able to ‘take in’ a number of budding scientists and others in developing countries, whose knowledge of these scams is close to 0. I live and work in Burundi, central Africa and travel extensively throughout Africa. The problem will likely begin emerging in a big way around the continent…

Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by Kabir Bhai
Just mailed the copy of my thesis to them, even after reading all about Lap Lambert Publishers here. Frankly, my thesis was gathering dust in the rack, and when a chance arose of publishing it without paying a penny, i saw a merit.
Here a large number of people are commenting against it, and yes, i do agree with them on a number of levels. But hey, from my point of view, i am in a win position. I know the best and most intellectual scholars (no pun intended) are commenting here against Lambert Publishers , but for me, it was cool. Not Great or mind blowing, but Cool.

Comment on OMICS Ineptly Uses Social Media to Promote its Brands by Schmuck
This is beyond annoying, this is quit dangerous. I hope everyone here, with some exceptions, knows not to trust the OMICS people. However, the danger is when a concerned parent look at such thing and say “well it is on a scientific Facebook page and has reference to a scientific journal” then they decide not to give their young any vaccine.

I never thought anyone but the most interested would be interested in my work in the first place. and I sure as hell never intended to sell it. for all I care (or know), LAP might make a fortune selling my thesis, though I seriously (and I mean SERIOUSLY) doubt it. Jeez! what exactly is the problem here?
