Comment on List of Predatory Publishers 2014 by Jeffrey Beall

John, my definition of gold open-access is different. I recognize the gold OA model (free to readers, authors pay an article processing charge) and the platinum OA model (free to readers and free to authors). I generally try to limit my list to gold OA publishers and journals, following the definition I give here. I agree with your last statement, that new gold OA publishers frequently waive fees just to get some content, and unfortunately, it’s usually pretty bad.
