Thank you again.

This firm is not on my list at this time. I do regularly receive inquiries about it, though.

I have worked in the field of Latin American Studies Librarianship for over 20 years. I have followed both RedALyC and SciELO throughout my career. How are you substantiating the claim that most North American scholars do not know about these platforms? The systematic and careful development of metrics has been a strong achievement of these projects and that data suggests these platforms are indeed heavily used. Twenty years ago, there were no commercial publishers eagerly offering to “help” bring visibility to Latin American journals. These platforms and the larger OA movement that surrounds them have revolutionized journal publishing in Latin America, in my opinion, and I do not use “revolutionized” lightly. I know how challenging and difficult it was identify and source journals published in Latin America in the pre-SciELO days. In the last 20 years, common standards, procedures and access models have unified scholarly journal publishing within Latin America. This was done not only in service to the needs of U.S.–based scholars, but primarily to advance the growth of scholarly communities in many disciplines within Latin America. Among U.S.-based researchers and librarians in the field of Latin American Studies, recognition is high. I have organized sessions at the Latin American Studies Association (starting in the late 1990s, and up until this past May) featuring these projects. Name recognition of these projects isn’t really the point, however. If they are fostering better editorial standards, improved technical best practices, and support for greater visibility in other indexes and search environments, more researchers will discover the journals. More importantly, they will also be able to access what they find. Your “nice neighborhood” might be more accurately described as a gated community. Last time I was in Rio, I took a favela tour and saw up-close the complexity and conditions that reside in those environments. Lots of problems and challenges but also innovation, logic and creativity. Do we need a scholarly publishing favela tour to bring nuance and greater understanding to publishing environments beyond our literal and figurative borders?

Wow, an excessively self-referential and pedantic comment from someone who condescendingly visited a favela as a tourist. Where did your tour bus take you after the Favela?

Bonjour,I find this journal    in the list of Thomson reuters  “ ISSN (Imprimer):  2349-6800,  ISSN (en ligne):  2320-7078,  indexation:  zoologiques Records (Thomson Reuters),  contacter No .:  + 91-9711224068. So,I think you’ve made a mistake,everyone can make mistakes,  because it is accepted in the list of Thomson reuters.  Therefore it is reliable, if you think not, how do you explain its indexing in Thomson Reuters? Thank youRachida

My apologies for the typos in my previous reply. Also, I should have included a link to SALALM (Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials) http://salalm.org/, a library professional organization that deals with this issue and much more.

Hi everyone! I have been having the same problem. They ask me to pay a fee of 300. My question is… what happens if I refuse to pay? I am obviously not going to pay a single penny, neither to answer their emails, but I would like to know if there’s any consequence or any other solution better than ignoring them. Thanks a lot in advance!

Could you clarify whether Dove Press is or isn’t on your list? It was about 2 weeks ago and now seems to have disappeared.
