[GOAL] Re: The Qualis and the silence of the Brazilian researchers

[Jacinto Dávila]

Publish that list Mr Tuffani. Openness is not only about allowing papers to
be read "in the Internet". But also about allowing auditing and supervision
of all sorts and at all levels. I understand you must summarize the
arguments for non-expert readers. But this is a gross over-simplification
of OA:

"

*Open Access*

Predatory journals are academic journals published by companies operating,
without scientific rigor, an important scientific communication initiative
that came up with the internet. This is the *Open Access
<http://legacy.earlham.edu/%7Epeters/fos/brief-port.htm>* (OA), the
editorial model of publishing articles in open access, based on the
charging of fees from authors or funding by scientific institutions.

Both in the OA as in the traditional model maintained by annual
subscriptions or fees per downloaded article from the Internet, reputable
journals take months or even over a year to review and accept articles, or
reject them.
