<b>Subject:</b> [GOAL] Beall on the open access movement: 3 reasonable points in a sea of nonsense</font>

<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">After thoroughly reading Beall’s paper I can find three reasonable points raised.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Speculation on the effect of the price mechanism introduced between author and publisher through Gold OA journals with APC’s. This is something that deserves
close attention. It should be interesting to discuss the SCOAP model (<a href="http://scoap3.org/">http://scoap3.org/</a>) in this regard.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The supposed absence of the a community function in broad OA megajournals. Is that true? Is it to be regretted? Are there alternative communities that function
separate from the journal proper?</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The supposed lack of warnings issued by OA advocates against predatory journals. I at least partly second Beall here. I myself was taken by surprise by the
amazing speed with which these bogus journals came to rise. And DOAJ waited far too long with more stringent criteria.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">All three issues merit further discussion but alas in Beall’s paper these points are drowning in a sea of unproductive nonsense.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">BTW many researchers in my university effectively have a mandate: to publish in first quartile impact factor JCR journals …..</span></p>
