Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by Sameer
Gosh! I have got my two dissertations published with LAP. Frankly speaking, I won’t mind if I won’t get any royalties. All I am concerned about is if the books will count or not; if they will hold any value or not. In India, there are 50 points at Academic Performance Indicator (API score) for a book published with International publisher. Please tell me how many points will a book published with LAP fetch me?

Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by Daniel Dempsey
some interesting, ongoing commentary here since my last missive. at this point, I would simply say to those who have an interest in publishing their work with LAP, because it would otherwise sit on the proverbial shelf entertaining dust, to do it. if the piece under consideration is truly more valuable than that (monetarily that is), then look for another publishing house that will honor a more traditional quid pro quo arrangement. thanks, good luck, and congratulation to all my fellow, thinkers, scholars and writers.

Comment on Bangladeshis Publishing Even More Journals from Connecticut by Robin Hood
Bravo. Also note the rise in Bangladeshis serving on the editor boards, many of them unqualified (of this and other predatory journals).

Comment on Two More Predatory Publishers by Ilkka Tuomi
Sciedu seems to automatically harvest publications in its area. My article on Open Educational Resources was published yesterday in the European Journal of Education. Today I got an email from “Susan Sun”:
“Dear Ilkka Tuomi,
I am Susan Sun from International Journal of Higher Education, which is a printed and online scholarly journal, peer-reviewed, published by Sciedu Press, Canada. I have had an opportunity to read your paper entitled “Open Educational Resources and the Transformation of Education”. Through your works, I know you are an expert in this field. You are sincerely invited to submit manuscripts at any time. Your submission will make an important contribution to the quality of this journal. … Article publication fee 300.00 USD…”

Does it count academically? Will it fetch equal points as getting a book published by an international publisher?

Comment on Lambert Academic Publishing: A Must to Avoid by Nancy Bevre
Some time ago I offered you the possibility of making your academic paper about Making the Invisible Visible: Exploring Science Literacy through Creation of Non-fiction Science Picture Books available as printed book. Since I did not hear back from you, I am now wondering if you received my first email.
I would appreciate if you could confirm your interest in our publishing house and I will be glad to provide you with detailed information about our services.
I am looking forward to receiving a positive response from you.
Best Regards,
Beatrice Bessons

How do they possibly know about my paper, I wondered and when I googled the company that’s when I stumbled upon this blog. Thanks to those bringing this prying on academics to light. This is the second invitation I got in two days from two different publishers. We are not stupid, we can google you before we respond.

Comment on OA Journal Stops Publishing, Deletes Website by Schenck
Surely the Ingelfinger Rule doesn’t apply when the original journal collapses in on itself.
Heck if an editor can’t find or get access to the original paper, then the Ingelfinger Rule shouldn’t apply either. That might make an argument for re-submitting (of course I. R. is about what an editor, not an author, should do) papers originally published in heavily-paywalled journals.

This is going to be an increasing problem, potentially even with large publishers unless suitable archiving arrangements are in place. Whether that is the case or not can be difficult to find out so any author who is worried should archive their work independently with an institutional repository, or PMC, or some similar venue.
As to the specific question, if the paper was OA then there seems no reason to not publish the work elsewhere. I would have thought adding a sentence somewhere such as the acknowledgements saying “An earlier version of this paper was published in XXX as [reference YYYYYYYYYY], but is sadly no longer available”, would satisfy any legal, ethical or moral qualms.

Dear J Beall…if you are right then AoB Plant journal from Oxford Journal Publications be also regarded as Predatory because that particular journal has been publishing free of cost till end 2012 and now 1000 US dollars ..so it switch to author-pays mode. Dear Beall you may kindly raise this issue and so far AoB is predatory and in fact Oxford journal to say, as per your insight against Trade Sciences

Comment on Cloudy Ethics with Cloud Journals by Badnews
Open Access journals actually REVIEW papers. These journals do not. Hence these are worthless, you might as well post the PDF on your website. It’ll have just as much impact and google scholar will pick it up.

CLOCKSS is the simple solution to this problem. All good online publishers (OA or not) are CLOCKSS members for this very reason: http://www.clockss.org/clockss/Participating_Publishers

I had recently bought 2 books from it. I was informed by the publisher (Exom Publishing House) about it. The publisher does the application for copyright and ISBN number and Amazon I think does the printing (colored or greyscale) But I read in another publishing book that you could do yourself the application for copyright and for ISBN number and you could inquire about printing the stuff through Amazon. It is free and Amazon gets a percentage of sales revenue. One could buy it through Amazon (US, UK or Europe). It’s Global.

Comment on OA Journal Stops Publishing, Deletes Website by WG
Using the Internet Archive WayBack Machine, I was able to access the journal as it appeared in June 2012 and download an article as a PDF.
It was a 3-page article titled, “Anxiety Level in Indian Basketball Referees at Different Levels of Officiating.” It has five references, including two with the words “text book” in their titles.
Other red flags were text ads and a list of links on the journal homepage about search-engine optimization.
I am inclined to think that this was a “fake” journal.
