Talk:Predatory publishing

Dogma journals
It appears that the vast majority of the so-called respected journals mostly publish papers supporting existing dogmas, e.g. no so-called respected journal would allow a paper casting even a shadow of doubt on MAN-MADE global warming; seismology journals would publish any garbage supporting existing dogmas but would not allow anything doubting the dogmas. Most so-called respected journals would automatically unsubmit a manuscript should the author(s) indicate they cannot pay the publication fee. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.214.72.38 (talk) 00:31, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Predatory Review
To be fair, it should be noted that respected journals do not hesitate to use not to the point and unfair reviews when they reject articles that they don't want to accept. I once submitted a paper to a very distinguished and well-known journal. One reviewer wrote that everything written in the work is long known and therefore the work should be rejected. Another reviewer wrote that everything in it was wrong and therefore it should be rejected. The editor wrote that he read both reviews carefully and he agrees with both. Needless to say, it's a waste of time trying to appeal to the editor. Urila (talk) 06:50, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Usable source, Oviedo-García 2021
This 2021 paper by Oviedo-García contains a ton of sources (and statements) that can be used to expand this article. Also, while I'm not familiar with the Grudniewicz et al. definition of predatory journals, it seems highly-cited; might be worth covering in "Characteristics", rather than "Other efforts", depending on how impactful it's been?

Reference to PDF of unpublished conference talk slides
The reference https://doi.org/10.13140%2F2.1.2988.7364 leads to a PDF of the slides from a talk which appears to have been presented at a conference at Columbia University in 2014 but not published anywhere except by the author on ResearchGate. It is unclear to me if this is an acceptable reference, and if acceptable, how to fix the template which is being used for it in the article. TheGoblin (talk) 17:18, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
