  • Predatory Publishing Practices: Is There Life After Beall's List?
    volume 27, issue 2, pages 53-70 (2017) Predatory Publishing Practices: Is There Life After Beall’s List? Denise Rosemary Nicholson Scholarly Communications and Copyright Services Office, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa [email protected] ABSTRACT Background. Scholarly communication is an ever-evolving practice. As publishing advanced from the printed format to digital formats, new trends, practices and platforms emerged in academia. As reputable publishers adapted their business models to accommodate open access, many non-reputable publishers have emerged with questionable business models and less-than- favourable or unacceptable publishing services. Objectives. This paper discusses changing trends in scholarly publishing, the advent of and problems caused by pervasive predatory publishing practices, and possible solutions. The paper also investigates possible alternatives to Beall’s list and whether a “one-stop shop” black- or white list would serve as a comprehensive tool for scholarly authors. Results. The paper concludes that there is no “one-stop shop” or comprehensive resource or guidelines available at this stage for scholarly authors to consult before publishing. It alerts scholars to be cautious and to do research about potential publishers, before submitting manuscripts for publication. Contributions. It provides recommendations and some useful resources to assist authors before they publish their works. INTRODUCTION The landscape of scholarly communication is ever-evolving. Ever since the first printed publication there have been variant policies, practices, standards and processes in publishing houses. There have been excellent high or gold standard publishers offering peer-review by expert researchers in their specific disciplines. They also offer impact factors attractive to researchers, reasonable subscription fees and ancillary services.

    PEOPLE ARE TALKING … Rick Frishman is one of only ten people who understand and have mastered the book publishing process—I have counseled with him, listened to him, and watched the books he promoted turn to gold. If you’re looking for someone to take your book to the promised land, I promise that Rick Frishman is the rocket ship that will take you there. —Jeffrey Gitomer,King, Buy Gitomer, Inc. Judith Briles should be used by anyone in the process of writing or publishing a book. As a first time author, my learning curve was quite steep. Judith supported me every step of the process. She went beyond her original job description, always making sure all my needs were met. Her integrity was exemplary. Not only did we collaborate and complete my book, she then led me through the publishing aspects and now the marketing. I am truly grateful for Judith and her gifts, insights and knowledge. My book would not have happened without her! I highly recommend. —Lynn Hellerstein, author of See It. Say It. Do It! John Kremer is Staggering.

  • Library of Congress Collections Policy Statements, Supplementary Guidelines: Independently Published and Self-Published Textual
    LIBRARY OF CONGRESS COLLECTIONS POLICY STATEMENTS SUPPLEMENTARY GUIDELINES Independently Published and Self-Published Textual Materials Contents I. Introduction II. Definitions III. Previously overlooked sources IV. Current guidelines V. Poetry and literature Preface This document provides guidance to Library of Congress staff regarding: (a) the dramatic increase of self- published works as a significant portion of and change in the book publishing industry, and (b) the acquisition of independent (indie) and self-published materials. In this document, the term self- published will be understood to include independent or indie publishing. This document applies only to textual works, and not to non-textual works such as sound recordings or moving images. History Self-publishing was a common method of publishing in the 19th century, with authors paying all costs, or publishers asking for subsidies to produce books by new authors or with little apparent commercial value. In 1916 Publishers’ Weekly wrote that the practice was still common, because worthy books with limited appeal needed financial assistance from the author to be published. However, within the next decades, self-publishing had acquired a stigma and a pejorative name: vanity publishing or vanity press. With the advent of the Internet in the 1990s, circumstances were advantageous for changes to the traditional vs. vanity publishing model. Not only did the Internet allow for democratization of information dissemination in general, but specific technologies and subsequent services were developed such as POD (print-on-demand), self-publishing platforms, and hybrid publishers, all of which are contemporary forms of independent publishing. Self-publishing grew along with the development of the e-book and the Internet.

While this environment fosters the creation of high-quality, peer-reviewed open access publications, it also provides opportunities for journals or publishers to engage in unprofessional or unethical practices. LITERATURE REVIEW Faculty take into account a number of factors in deciding where to publish, including whether or not a journal engages in ethical publishing practices. Librarians and scholars have attempted to address this issue in a number of ways, such as generating lists of ethical/unethical publishers and general guides. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT In response to growing faculty concern in this area, the Grand Valley State University Libraries developed and evaluated a set of Open Access Journal Quality Indicators that support faculty in their effort to identify the characteristics of ethical and unethical open access publications.
