I was just checking back on this issue and note that OASPA has taken action against the journals identified in the sting.

I also came across Phil Davis’ comment that
“Bohannon reports that Beall was good at spotting publishers with poor quality control (82% of publishers on his list accepted the manuscript). That means that Beall is falsely accusing nearly one in five as being a ”potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open access publisher” on appearances alone.”

Jeffrey, I wonder have you responded to this somewhere? It would appear to be a pretty fundamental issue.
