A presentation on predatory publishing, in the Information Interventions series, sponsored by the LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable , the CUNY Office of Library Services, and Just Publics @ 365.
It is critical to understand the history and background of predatory publishing, a fairly recent phenomenon, whether you are an author or a librarian called upon to assess a publisher. This talk addresses the politics of Gold Open Access, the Bohannon "sting," and the issue of "third world-ism." Red herrings of predatory publishers are an especially useful aspect of this presentation.
