Predatory Open Access Journals & Publishing In academic publishing, predatory open access publishing is an exploitative open-access publishing business model that involves charging publication fees to authors without providing the editorial and publishing services associated with genuine journals (open access or not). "Beall's List", a regularly updated report by Jeffrey Beall, sets forth criteria for categorizing predatory publications and lists publishers and independent journals that meet those criteria. Newer scholars from developing countries are said to be especially at risk of becoming the victim of these practices. Jeffery Beall Who coined the term "predatory publishing first time in 2010. He is a Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Colorado Denver, USA. He is studying scholarly open-access publishing.
