No peer review at OA journals?
• Article in Science:• Medical article with obvious flaws submitted to
OA journals, taken from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and Beall’s List
• More often accepted for publication than rejected• Publishers were not who or where they claimed
to be
• Beall’s List is an overview of predatory publishers: the list is intended as a warning that these publishers are frauds
• No comparison with regular subscription journals: would they have accepted the article?

How do you increase your impact as an author?
• Write good articles!
• Publish in reputable journals• OA journal:
• Check that the publisher is not on Beall’s List• If the offer seems too good to be true…
• Subscription journal:• Check the journal on Sherpa/RoMeo: is self-archiving
allowed?• Add your preprint/postprint to the TU Delft Repository
• Both OA and subscription journals:• Are articles from the journal indexed in a good database?• Who are the editors? Are their affiliations correct? Do they
(or their colleagues) publish in the journal?
