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

<div class="">Hi Scott</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Following QOAM now since the beginning I can assure you that QOAM is pretty legitimate. See about here: <a href="https://www.qoam.eu/organisation" class="">https://www.qoam.eu/organisation</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>

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".</div>

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