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

[Mauricio Tuffani]

Mr. Davila,

The list is published from March 9 — accessible through the same link in my
report indicated here by Mr. Beall — and has been updated today. Now are at
least 235 predatory journals in Qualis.

Auditing and supervision are precisely what is not allowed by all the
publishers in that list. In all my posts and articles I have emphasized the
need for such transparency. And I do not need to explain this by defining
OA. My focus is not to attack OA, but also is not make OA advocacy.
