Predatory open access publishing: “an exploitative open-access publishing business model that involves charging publication fees to authors without providing the editorial and publishing services associated with legitimate journals.”

Jeffrey Beal gathers information on predatory open access publishers and journals. If you are ever unsure, double-check before submitting your paper. Better yet, start with a list of reputable open access journals in your field, such as the one below, which comes from page 33 in Perkins, R., & Lowenthal, P. R. (2016).

  1. This is so helpful George:) Saw the latest call from TechTrends https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jegu8kv1QVnitftto8lPuQXcI7QCOJJn/view Wondering if they would ever go OA… Which OA journals do you think would be best for practitioner-researchers i.e. makes a contribution to sharing practice rather than growing theory in the edtech research field. Or contextual approaches often from countries not currently represented in existing edtech literature in any form?
