[GOAL] "Quality Open Access Market" or "QOAM"

[Scott Abbott]

Thanks Christian. The organisation does indeed look reputable with some familiar names. I'll continue reading and researching.


All the very best,


Scott

Hi Scott

Following QOAM now since the beginning I can assure you that QOAM is pretty legitimate. See about here: https://www.qoam.eu/organisation

I guess they are sending proactively mails, because this fantastic initiative have been ignored by many in the past. Obviously discussing the problem of predatory journals has been more attractive, than contributing to the solution.

Best regards

Christian

Dear List Members,

I work as a project manager for UTS ePRESS (contact details below) at the University of Technology Sydney and was hoping someone may have some information about the legitimacy or not of a website called "QOAM" or "Quality Open Access Market".

Our journal managers, editors and authors are being sent personalised emails asking them to go to the QOAM site to evaluate journals.

Does anyone know any more about this site and would you recommend us notifying/warning our authors/editors from going there?

Many thanks and regards,

Scott
