 sure that publishers-- including traditional publishers who, should we remind people, also deviate from best practices from time to time--do not use public funds in a way that could be qualified as being abusive. I know that asking the question in this way

 When we say that charging $500 for a paper with no peer review is questionable, others could argue that charging $3,000 when academics do the work for free is equally if not more questionable. I don’t necessarily think this is the way to go, even though this
 is an important social and public policy debate. I think what is at the heart of the problem that Jeffrey wanted to address with his list is the fact that some publishers and editors have deceptive practices. Most of this is centered on the peer review process
