Predatory conference organizers

Conferences have been author-paid well before OA came along, and predatory practices have been tested on them ever since. I am not aware of good sources on that, though. -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 18:59, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi DM, I have taken the liberty of copying your comment to the article-space talk page at Talk:Predatory open access publishing. I have also heard about these, and I think they were mentioned in the recent NYT article. I'll work it in soon if no one beats me to it. Cheers, a13ean (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Ha, hadn't noticed it was live already. Thanks! -- Daniel Mietchen - WiR/OS (talk) 00:28, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
