Interesting contribution in Library Journal newsletter:
"There are definitely publishers who come to mind
when I hear the expression “predatory publishers.” My first thought is
of the high-profile academic publishers who are increasing their journal
prices by ten or 20 percent per year, leaving libraries with impossible
choices to be made between maintaining their journal subscriptions in
key fields or buying that year’s monographic production. None of these
are on Jeffrey Beall’s “Possible Predatory Publishers” list at the Scholarly Open Access site, however. Beall’s list consists of newly formed open access
(OA) journals that charge authors a fee for each article published but
that allegedly do not follow accepted academic practice for quality
publication or are even fraudulent in nature...."
