I have ignored many invitations to serve in these predators and a few are from OMICS too. About a year ago, one of my colleagues boasted in the department meeting that he is serving as editor in many international journals. I was surprised, yet felt happy for him. He however, did not mention the names of the journals. But, when I read an article by Dr.Beall on predatory OA, I could connect his statements to predatory OA and since got interested. I have introduced Dr.Beall’s name among my colleagues, and have suggested them to read his criteria. I never miss an opportunity to talk about predators and Dr.Beall. When a ‘slut’ approaches, what do you want me to do? avoid? or ignore? or boycott? I am particularly concerned because, when someone is right, correcting them wrongly is unacceptable.
