Comment on Appeals by otistd

To be clear are you speaking for Professor Beal? I have read the criteria he has posted- so I’m aware that there are more criteria than adhering to OASPA’s code of conduct. But that is not really a substantive answer to any of the issues I raised. I disclosed that I have a paper in one of their journals- which is why it caught my interest to see it- so I searched and found the history which is that Dr. Beall added them to his list with a detailed explanation. OASPA has since posted that they did a review- specifically into the issues he raised and referenced his post. It stands to reason he may have discussed it with them as well- but I didn’t see any follow up on this site posted- though I could have missed it. I’m wondering if he even knew about OASPA’s review. To be honest I think their post is not very detailed- but I also think it is a substantial development that deserves some follow up on Dr. Beall’s part. To be totally honest, I am withholding judgement about the Dr. Beall’s list, but it does in my mind raise a lot of questions. I recognize that Dr. Beall is the ultimate authority when it comes to what he writes in his blog. Although that in itself raises a warning bell in my head- and I do recognize as well that he has a panel for appeals.
