[open-science] Fwd: Fake Cancer study published in 157 Open Access Journals

[Tom Olijhoek]

I apologize for having send my  message meant for the list  to Klaus only
and not to the list,
Still I think that this discussion has become nasty by calling me a liar.I
do not accept this kind treatment.
The science of the Hoax sucks, and if you do not agree, come with
scientific arguments
But you do not accept criticism apparently by writing:  stop lying, End Of
Discussion

Dear Klaus,

Please read the reactions by Peter Suber, Michael Eisen and Mike Taylor.
It is not a question of not accepting critics, it is a question of not
accepting bad science, wrong conclusions and generalisations
The studied group of journals was a non-randomly selected group of OA
journals where 30 % was based in India and 121 / 304 were known predatory
journals. It was not at all representative of the group of 10,000+  open
access journals that exist.Small wonder that  in  the  result many of those
journals turned out to be bogus....
Apart from that in the selected group the journals that published the
largest nr of articles did very well
