10/4/13 LIST OF PUBLISHERS | Scholarly Open Access Scholarly Open Access Critical analysis of scholarly open-access publishing LIST OF PUBLISHERS Beall’s List: Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open- access publishers This is a list of questionable, scholarly open-access publishers. We recommend that scholars read the available reviews, assessments and descriptions provided here, and then decide for themselves whether they want to submit articles, serve as editors or on editorial boards. The criteria for determining predatory publishers are here (http://wp.me/p280Ch-g5). We hope that tenure and promotion committees can also decide for themselves how importantly or not to rate articles published in these journals in the context of their own institutional standards and/or geocultural locus. We emphasize that journal publishers and journals change in their business and editorial practices over time. This list is kept up-to-date to the best extent possible but may not reflect sudden, unreported, or unknown enhancements. o Abhinav (http://www.abhinavjournal.com/index.aspx) o A M Publishers (http://ampublisher.com/index.html) o Academe Research Journals (http://www.academeresearchjournals.org) o Academia Publishing (http://academiapublishing.org/index.htm) o Academic and Business Research Institute (http://www.aabri.com/) o Academic and Scientific Publishing (http://acascipub.com/) o Academic Journals (http://www.academicjournals.org/) o Academic Journals and Research ACJAR (http://www.acjar.org/index.html) o Academic Journals, Inc.
