Comment on Publishing Pseudo-Science by Colin Barron

0
0

In reply to Dr Krishnakumar, there is a big danger. A number of lecturers at my University have published in journals listed on Jeffrey Beall’s list. When it is pointed out to them that publishing articles in these journals may harm their careers, their responses are usually one of 3:
1 they are under great pressure to publish, especially if they are seeking promotion
2 lists like Jeffrey Beall’s are merely “Western plots” to undermine the research of lecturers in developing countries
3 even if an article has little or no academic merit, young researchers need to be encouraged
