Comment on Appeals by Genaro V Japos

In response to Otistd, the criteria of Dr Beall on Predatory Publishers already cover the OASPA and COPE standards and even more than those. The parameters are numerous and they are credible as framework of understanding what constitutes journal publishing quality. These criteria are good inputs in raising the bar for editorial policies and procedures. Thus, even if OASPA clears a publishing member, it does not mean it has met the criteria of quality set by Dr Beall. This is his legacy to the literature on quality of publishers and journals.
