IP Annual: "Get Me Off Your" etc. and Predatory Open Access

[Clancy Ratliff]

OK, yet another request. Perhaps you've seen the "get me off your fucking mailing list" story that's been making the rounds the last few days:

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/11/get-me-off-your-mailing-list-accepted-for-publication-by-scam-academic-journal/

This is a guy, Peter Vamplew, who, in response to a spam journal email, sent a paper written by David Mazières and Eddie Kohler consisting only of the words "get me off your fucking mailing list" repeated all-work-and-no-play style with an entertaining graph and chart. The journal actually published it.

I'd love to see this in the IP Annual. We haven't published anything giving any general information about predatory open access, and this case presents a good opportunity for us to address it.

That sounds like something Kim would like to write about. She’s been paying attention to the predatory journals lately.

Clancy,

 

I do have some material on this subject that I would be happy to further develop.

 

Best,
