THE GLOBAL TRANSITION TO OA
GLOBAL OPEN ACCESS MANDATES (2019)
*Growth from 2017 Data from: http:///roarmap.eprints.org/view/country
OPEN ACCESS IN SOUTH AMERICA
OPEN ACCESS IN ETHIOPIA
“When we first began making research outputs openly available in Ethiopia there was fierce resistance from the academic community who were worried that their work would be plagiarized. But now, researchers and students come to my office in the library and ask for their research to be published in open access so that others, like potential employers, can find and read it. They see the benefits.�

THE FUTURE OF OPEN
PREDATORY PUBLISHERS
THE RISE OF OPEN ACCESS PUBLISHERS
2000
2019
PREDATORY PUBLISHERS A predatory publisher is an opportunistic publishing venue that exploits the academic need to publish but offers little reward for those using their services. • primary goal is to make money (i.e. there will be fees). • do not care about the quality of the work published (i.e. no or little editing or peer-review). • make false claims or promises (i.e. claims of impact factors and indexing). • engage in unethical business practices (i.e. not as advertised). • fail to follow accepted standards or best practices of scholarly publishing (various).
OPEN ACCESS ≠ PREDATORY
AVOIDING PREDATORY PUBLISHERS Contact Information
Scope of the journal
Editorial Board
Does the journal’s website provide complete contact information? Does it include a verifiable address?
Is the journal’s scope multidisciplinary? Does it combine multiple, unrelated wide-ranging fields?
Does is include recognized, affiliated experts? (TIP: Contact a few & inquire about their experience with the journal)
AVOIDING PREDATORY PUBLISHERS Author fee policy
Quality of articles
Peer review process
Does the journal charge authors publication fees? (TIP: find out about such charges before submission)
Does the journal publish good quality research? (TIP: check with your Dept. Head or Supervisor to gauge quality)
Is the peer review process described on the journal’s website? (TIP: most credible journals are likely to display it)
AVOIDING PREDATORY PUBLISHERS Indexing information
Retraction Policy
Pitch for authors
Is the journal indexed or a member of a prominent publisher association? Does it display an ICV*?
Does the journal have a clear policy for recalling articles? (TIP: Check journal policies or instructions for authors)
Does the journal guarantee publication or quick peer review? (TIP: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t)
*Index Copernicus Value is a questionable journal metric generally used exclusively by predatory publishers.
