Getting Away from a Predatory Publisher
Alan H.
Chambers begins his article for Science on his experience with a predatory publisher
with the following:
I was nursing
my wounds from my latest manuscript rejection when the email arrived. I was
about 2 years into my assistant professorship, with the tenure clock running at
full speed, and the pressure to publish was immense. I knew that navigating
rejection was part of the job, but I was also starting to wonder whether my
study—a modest project designed to be feasible with the minimal lab space and
skeleton crew of a new professor—would ever see the light of day. So when I
received the email from a newly launched journal inviting me to publish with
them, I saw a lifeline. That’s when my troubles started.
