<div dir="ltr">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:<br><br>"<p><b>Open Access</b></p>
<p>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 <strong><a href="http://legacy.earlham.edu/%7Epeters/fos/brief-port.htm" target="_blank">Open Access</a></strong> (OA),
the editorial model of publishing articles in open access, based on the
charging of fees from authors or funding by scientific institutions.</p>
<p>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.</p>"<br><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 2 April 2015 at 16:41, Jean-Claude Guédon <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jean.claude.guedon@umontreal.ca" target="_blank">jean.claude.guedon@umontreal.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

If some academics find it difficult publicly to denounce what obviously are rogue journals, others obviously will. It is only a question of perseverance. Furthermore, we need academics only to endorse journals that they know to be legitimate. Those without the ability to have five open sponsors will simply stand out in the list (that for colleagues who might be scared of being sued).<br>
<br>
Besides, Mr. Tuffani, all you have to do is publish the list of the 200 doubtful titles and ask who would be willing to put his/her good name behind any of these journals. If it turns out that some are actually legitimate, we shall soon know. They will have no difficulty in garnering five sponsors who can be easily identified and queried as to their decision to support a particular title.<br>
