This is getting worse by the minute. I followed @christof|s hint concerning the reproduction of articles from #DHQ / @DHQuarterly looking for one of my own papers (digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/).

In this case #ProQuest blatantly violates the CC BY-ND license (creativecommons.org/licenses/b) by

- not mentioning the license
- producing a derivative
- not linking to the original

I am very much in favour of @adho.org, as the publisher of @DHQuarterly, following the path outlined by @dingemansemark. I will also log a complaint with #ProQuest through my employer.

After reading through the CC BY license I am none the wiser whether one has to clearly indicate that the material in question had been originally published somewhere else. The DOI as provided by #ProQuest reveals this fact but only after manually parsing the string with a resolver. Readers unfamiliar with the Programming Historian are made to believe that ProQuest is the original publisher or the platform officially hosting the original content.

However, ProQuest clearly violates the attribution requirements by modifying the layout and removing images. The CC BY license explicitly states that “You must […] indicate if You modified the Licensed Material”.

It sucks that posting a paper on #SSRN (or probably any widely used #preprint platform) results in semi-regular spam emails from predatory publishers offering to publish it in their (often thematically inappropriate) predatory journals.

Of course, most people probably send them to spam, but I imagine they're using the scattershot technique where they just need to catch a few people unaware of their practices who desperately need publications.

The political economy of academic publicationsDealing with the grey zone of publishing or… how I will never be an editorial board member of MDPI Publications.The “predatory publisher” category raises more questions than answers. Just like “academic fraud”, it tends to validate a black & white world in which rules and norms are clear-cut and universally shared through time, disciplines and countries. There is now an extensive literature presenting lists, criteria and even automatic detection for such publishers or their … Continue reading "Dealing with the grey zone of publishing or… how I will never be an editorial board member of MDPI Publications."

"Stinging predatory journals: a brief overview and recommendations" doi.org/10.3897/ese.2025.e1379 #predatorypublishing

European Science EditingStinging predatory journals: a brief overview and recommendationsPredatory journals exploit the open access model for profit, often publishing papers with minimal or nonexistent peer review. Predatory publishing stings can identify predatory publishers and increase awareness of the problem, but there are no guidelines for effective stings. We propose that stings should include peer review red flags that would stop the sting from being accepted by reputable journals, be followed by a public sting statement to alert others to the predatory journal identified and predatory publishing in general, and avoid both payment to predatory publishers and risk to the stinger.
