Rebecca Schuman (@pankisseskafka) on the Get Me Off Your F-ing Mailing List scam journal incident. Beginning academics are desperate to get in print—and sometimes, they’re not savvy enough to tell the difference between a well-regarded journal and a straight-up scam (especially since well-regarded journals are among those who charge $3000 to bypass the paywall). It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that an entire cottage industry of malfeasance and predation has erected itself in “service†of these desperate souls. Peer-review fraud syndicates. Journals that nobody proofreads. Academic book mills. Pay-to-play conferences, where everyone is “accepted,†and whose “proceedings†are then stapled together into a glorified pamphlet (voila: a “publicationâ€).
