Publisher Threatens to Sue Sholarly OA Blogger for $1-Billion

Dear Professionals,
Jeffrey Beall is a metadata librarian at the University of Colorado at Denver, but he's known online for his popular blog Scholarly Open Access, where he maintains a running list of open-access journals and publishers he deems questionable or predatory.

Now, one of those publishers intends to sue Mr. Beall, and says it is seeking $1-billion in damages.

Be cautious about predatory open access publishers!

Publisher Threatens to Sue Jeffrey Beall, Open Access Blogger for $...

Regards,

Indira

Dear Dr. Indira Koneru,

Thanks for the post and for introducing the Chronicle to LIS Link. As an avid reader (& off & on contributor) of the Chronicle, I have been following Dr. Beall 's issue  since the Canada episode! In the present controversy, as i have observed that there are some substance to Dr. Beall's blog statements. In India, the awareness of the educated society seems to be still in its infancy. The allegations made by Dr. Beall regarding the Conference issue seems to be quite grave. Unfortunately we don't have the culture to examine & take action against such issues. I personally feel that when such an allegation is raised against an Indian Publisher, the Government should investigate it at least for the sake of national prestige!!

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
