[GOAL] Re: Still on the scientific open access journals in Brazil - response to Mister Jeffrey Beall

I would accept Heather's modification even though it complicates the process a little; it also duplicates the presence of open sponsors. Bus, as some would say, two precautions are better than one... :-)

Good suggestions - one possible modification:

On 2015-03-30, at 9:32 AM, Guédon Jean-Claude wrote:

1. Anyone publishing in a given journal should refrain from suggesting that journal to Qualis. This is too self-serving;

May I suggest that anyone publishing, or considering publishing, in a journal that is not included in a list like Qualis should suggest that journal. This suggestion should trigger a review by other scholars rather than simply being accepted. If the author has already published, it may be useful to the journal reviewers if the author provided evidence of the peer review process.

best,
