Can aspects of predatory publishing be applied to some mainstream and grey journals?

Sources of editorial and production practice data for comparing all journals are incomplete and dispersed. More complete quality indicators for <i>all</i> journals that include authors' experiences of publishing need to be openly shared and externally validated. Research funders can influence publishers' behavior by making open access funding contingent upon journals meeting both <i>quality</i> and <i>timeliness</i> indicators for peer review.

Abstract

Sources of editorial and production practice data for comparing all journals are incomplete and dispersed. More complete quality indicators for <i>all</i> journals that include authors' experiences of publishing need to be openly shared and externally validated. Research funders can influence publishers' behavior by making open access funding contingent upon journals meeting both <i>quality</i> and <i>timeliness</i> indicators for peer review.
