Comment on Is SciELO a Publication Favela? by Antonio Sánchez
Jeffrey Bealley’s move against SciELO has been generally recognized as a move against open access worldwide. Representing SciELO-Mexico and probably all SciELO network, we joined this understanding. In addition, we do repudiate his move as antiethical and, therefore, subject to retraction under trustful contexts.
The marginalization and invisibility of Latin American journals is a phenomenon described exactly twenty years ago in an article entitled “Lost Science in the Third World” (W. Wayt Gibbs published in Scientific American in August 1995 http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/lost-science-in-the-third-world… if you can not read the full text of the document is that … oops! you do not belong to an institution that has paid access to this resource).
During these twenty years, information technology opened the pattern to create a new model for scientific publication that allowed drastically reduce publishing costs and effectively achieve global dissemination. Latin America stood out as one of the most favorable territories for publication in open access and SciELO program, which began in 1997, it was one of the pioneering initiatives
Moreover SciELO adopted strict selection criteria as part of its strategic objectives with the intention of promoting the maturation of national journals, and assimilation of computer tools applied to electronic publishing in order to pair with international trends in the field. The results are evident, although unknown to Bealley: SciELO forms part of the classical neighborhoods as WoS, PubMed, Scopus and DOAJ, with which it shares information through transfer systems and interoperability.
The truth is that SciELO has successfully completed one of the objectives for which it was created: meet the needs of dissemination and access to autochthonous knowledge in your own neighborhood. This need was not covered by the commercial information systems, either for their discriminatory selection criteria or for their equally or more discriminatory prices. In SciELO, we believe that open access is an inalienable social achievement and the final beneficiaries of scientific research should be the communities that support this research including, of course, the inhabitants of the favelas and marginalized neighborhoods of our countries.

Comment on Is SciELO a Publication Favela? by Dennis Trombatore
I have seen little interest from SALALM in science or science related literature, which is a pity and something that should be remedied, in no small part because the vendors that supply Latin American materials are thereby encouraged to also ignore these topics in their offerings.

Comment on David Publishing: Flipping Its Model by JJH
Odd that this “publisher” is still at it – and that they’ve moved shop from Illinois to Harlem apparently. I know I can count on receiving solicitations for their journals as soon as I give a conference presentation anywhere (or at least as soon as the conference program is released online). Usually it’s not even for a journal in my area and barely related to the topic of my presentation.

Comment on Watch Out for Publishers with “Nova” in Their Name by Chris
Nova Science Publishers publishes Journal of International Real Estate and Construction Studies (JIRECS). The review process was quite rigorous. I can’t remember paying any article processing charge, yet a paper back edition was produced and forwarded to the author. You have cited elsewhere that the publisher is not predatory but a bottom-tier one. Do you think you still retain Nova Science Publisher on your list?

Comment on Open-Access Publisher Sends Extremely Annoying Spam Emails by DelawareJoe
If you were to look up the address “113 Barksdale Professional Center” you would find that it is the address of Delaware Intercorp LLC, which offers services to incorporate in my small state. Though physically the office is a modest one, sufficient only for say a dentistry practice, it serves as the headquarters for these many international medical journals, a how of miscellaneous businesses, and even a couple of universities (“Southern Delaware University” and “Pebble Hills University”).

Comment on Another Open-Access Innovation: Article Brokers by Yurii
This site is in Russian and it is hosted on a server from Kazakhstan. I think it might be a bit more complicated then just article brokers. From what I see they essentially offer editing, translation,submission services and as such are not different from dozens editing companies across the globe. Now, as for the list of journals that they select from – it is somewhat more complicated as well.
In Russia (and I presume in Kazakhstan) there is a state entity called “Higher Attestation Commission” that oversees all academic degrees (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_Attestation_Commission)
This organization publishes the list of journals that they consider legitimate. To fulfill degree requirement one need to be publishe in journals form this list.
Aspirans.com seems to be working with the authors to translate and submit their articles to the journals from this list. I am not saying that these guys a legitimate but on the surface they are essentially operating as an editing/translating/submitting service limited by the requirements of the Higher Attestation Commission.
They are somewhat expensive (in my opinion) and I am not sure I understand the point as there is a fair number of Russian journals in the Higher Attestation Commission list.

Comment on Another Open-Access Innovation: Article Brokers by liuhao
May you analyze this journal (Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology)? One of the editor-in-chief (Dr. Harry Hua-Xiang Xia, http://www.jcthnet.com/index.php/editorial-board/editors-in-chief) is the owner of the publisher also(http://www.xiahepublishing.com/) who created editing service company in china（http://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%A4%8F%E5%8D%8E%E5%90%91） （http://www.medjaden.com/）. I am curious about what he want to do. Whether he wants to have papers edited by him published in his journal fast to make more money?

I have already analyzed numbers 2 and 3. I did not find that they met the criteria for inclusion on my list, so I did not add them.
I will analyze the first one as soon as I can, but it will take some time. Thanks.
