[Taxacom] Predatory Open Access Publishers

[Neal Evenhuis]

Looks like someone at Nature does not know the author of the article, open access blogger Jeffrey Beall (his portrait caption says "J. Sanchez") ....

Dear taxacomers:

A colleague gently send a link to a Nature editorial on Open Access
publishing. In case you are interested please find the link(s) below.
I know the topic has been raised before in the list. I think this will
be especially important in taxonomy now that e-only publication is
possible.

Predatory publishers are corrupting open access:
