Abstract:
It is a pointless pondering (thinking) on predatory (meaning greedy) publications (meaning journals) while practicing publishing through freedom of expression and or the Press where applicable. It should be noted that a weak publication will vanish (disappear) itself in an open access publishing model where contents are made available for free on the WWW. The fundamental question in this context is the definition of host (congregation) and predator (intruder). The second question is the type (data and or commercial) and subsequent measure of effect of the predator on the host. Detailed discussion on this issue or any other related issue is welcomed under the freedom of the Press yet conclusion on it will be often biased and is clearly unwarranted. The parties aware of such concerns should write to the publisher (with address for communication) to take such action within such time to stand corrected. Please be informed that ISSN is unique for each publication and portals for ISSN is distributed throughout the world in each country. This is well monitored and clearly streamlined. Therefore, NO two publication titles will be identical. Awareness from authors on misleading or misinformed or misrepresented ISSN is important and such information should be petitioned to ISSN and portals for ISSN that is distributed throughout the world with state mechanisms to monitor such activities. Academia should be self-aware on these issues and have discussions on the quality and quantity of data taken to the context. Caveat Emptor is applicable to a considerable extend among the literate community as in this case. The only problem could arise because of compromised (unregistered or mirrored) ISSN number published on the WWW which is already well regulated through DNS lookup. Therefore, parties concerned about ethical issues on scientific publishing should write to concerned publishers with known address to stand corrected or to ISSN and portals for ISSN or to DNS lookup where address is not available to correct such issues through available state mechanisms. Hence, biased advisory notes from government representations, society sponsored mass campaign through news/TV media and academic miss representation based on data collected by an individual without physical address for communication is clearly unwarranted in this regard.
摘要:
这是毫无意义的思考(思考)掠夺性(意味着贪婪)出版物(意味着期刊),同时通过言论自由和/或新闻自由实践出版。应当注意,在开放存取出版模式中,弱出版物本身将消失(消失),其中内容在WWW上免费可用。在这种情况下,基本问题是宿主(会众)和捕食者(入侵者)的定义。第二个问题是捕食者对宿主的影响的类型(数据和/或商业)和随后的度量。在新闻自由下,对这个问题或任何其他相关问题的详细讨论受到欢迎,但关于它的结论往往会有偏见,显然是没有根据的。意识到此类问题的各方应写信给发布者(并提供通信地址),以在此时间内采取此类行动以予以纠正。请注意,ISSN对于每个出版物都是独一无二的,ISSN的门户网站在每个国家/地区分布在世界各地。这是很好的监测和明确精简。因此,没有两个出版物的标题是相同的。作者对误导或误导或虚假陈述的ISSN的认识很重要,此类信息应提交给ISSN和ISSN门户网站,这些门户网站分布在世界各地,并设有国家机制来监测此类活动。学术界应该对这些问题有自我意识,并就上下文数据的质量和数量进行讨论。在这种情况下,CaveatEmptor适用于识字社区中的相当大范围。唯一的问题可能是由于在WWW上发布的已通过DNS查找进行了很好的调节的已被破坏的(未注册或镜像的)ISSN号而出现。因此,关注科学出版伦理问题的各方应写信给已知地址的相关出版商,或写信给ISSN和ISSN的门户网站,或在地址无法通过可用的国家机制纠正此类问题的DNS查找。因此,来自政府代表的有偏见的咨询说明,在这方面,社会通过新闻/电视媒体赞助的群众运动和基于个人没有实际交流地址收集的数据的学术失职代表显然是没有根据的。
