Open access?

I clicked on the first three entries in Beall's list of hijacked journals [1] (Afinidad, Baltica, Bothalia) and none of them claim to be open access; is Category:Open access (publishing) a defining feature of the present article? Fgnievinski (talk) 05:12, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • AS far as I know, all imposter journals are OA, otherwise they wouldn't be able to charge authors, which would defeat their purpose. (Also, how would they ever be able to sell print subscriptions?) In contrast, the victims can be anything, OA, online only print only, whatever. As long as the victim has some reputation that the imposters can profit from. In all, I think this is yet another unforeseen and undesirable accompanying phenomenon of OA, so I think the cat is justified. --Randykitty (talk) 14:23, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll be darned! You're completely right. How on Earth do those scammers convince authors to pay up? You publish something with them and, because I cannot imagine anybody actually subscribing to the fake journal (but perhaps I'm too naive here, too), nobody will ever see you article... Anyway, you're correct then that OA is not defining and the cat should go. --Randykitty (talk) 15:19, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Articles about each hijacked journal?

Apparently WP already has articles about a handful of hijacked journals -- more would be better; noticing the existing ones, too. Also please be on the watchout for official external links! Fgnievinski (talk) 23:38, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
