A total score over 100 is the threshold for including a journal on the Journal Blacklist. At least any journal listed in the whitelist will not take Cabell to court for anything, hence the whitelist could be given for free, or a very small token. Well yes, of course. Cabells has now investigated and verified over 10,000 individual titles for inclusion into its Journal Blacklist. Cabells’ Journal Blacklist is the only searchable database of deceptive and fraudulent journals with comprehensive reports detailing violations. If the journal does not have a publisher use the Standalone Journals list. Through careful analysis of these and similar behaviors, we developed a scoring rubric that is applied in the investigation of each journal. (For example, it would be very useful to be able to do a search for journals that falsely claim affiliation with universities or other sponsors, or for journals that hide or misrepresent their practice of charging APCs. Think how useful it would be as a Crossref data point. “Free” is a price we all love, of course — except when it’s the price offered for our labor. And how many people are paying for it? Yes, one way to ensure that a journal is legitimate is to see how often it is cited by reputable journals. Some offenses receive a much higher score than others.” https://www2.cabells.com/blacklist-criteria. What an amazing thought! I’m going to take a wild guess that the revenue from these ads is insufficient to cover all of the costs incurred in creating their blacklist and whitelist. (Same question about the black list, though I’m assuming that Ulrich’s probably hasn’t done that type of listing.). The model makes no sense at all on so many levels that it’s not really worth considering. If the New York Times’ market is too small for them to be sustainable using an online advertising business model, then I suspect that might tell you something about how a specialized product for a tiny market might fare. I’m really not sure it’s realistic (to say nothing of fair) to expect Cabell’s to do this work, in the way that they’re doing it, for free. Currently, we do not offer subscriptions to the Whitelist or Blacklist at an individual level; the majority of our subscribers are academic institutions and pricing varies based on institutional size. These include: The only new problem I encountered was the fact that each entry no longer includes a direct link to Cabell’s appeals policy. The common feature of all such journals is that instead of rigorously evaluating and vetting submitted articles, they will instead publish anything submitted as long as the author is willing to pay an article processing charge (APC). The Cabell’s journal directory assists authors in their publication journey by providing an interactive, searchable database which covers 18 distinct academic disciplines from more than ten thousand international scholarly journals. Cabell’s doesn’t assign scores to its various inclusion criteria, though it does categorize the criteria as either “minor,” “moderate,” or “severe.” So in practice, what it looks like is that each entry for a blacklisted includes language that says which of the criteria led to its blacklisting. Which weighting is for this or that criterion and how much score will be critical? Help preventing publications of meticuously carried out research in any predatory journal and fake journals is Nobel thing to do as Distinguished Prof. Jefferry Beall did in his tenunre at the university. I think this misapprehension may be arising because Cabell’s includes a trademark notice at the bottom of some of its webpages regarding the term “Journal Impact Factor” (see, for example, here). And is it possible to be included in the Blacklist only on account of the criteria of, for example, MODERATE group? Such listings can’t be taken at face value. Certainly not all that is published in these Gray-Lit journals is bunk, but they seem like pre-prints with the imprimatur of a respectable sounding journal name. That is a very good point. Besides the Blacklist, the Cabell’s also publishes a Whitelist of journals, and both the lists can be accessed for a fee at the company’s website, www.cabells.com. Unfortunately, not every researcher who publishes in a predatory journal is tricked into doing so. Cabell’s Blacklist Violations A tally of journals that an American analytics firm, Cabells, believes to falsely claim to peer-review submissions, amounted, on a recent day, to 8,699—more than double the number of a year ago. Each category carries with it a range of scores. So far, they have been unable to build such a tool, but if they could do it, they could make the list freely available and sell the tool to cover costs. All journals published by a predatory publisher are potentially predatory unless stated otherwise. Now we have Blacklist, Whitelist and the list of journals which are being considered as the ones to be included in the Blacklist. Hi everyone. The cost of all that training, desirable though it may be, would be far greater than the cost of the subscription. Thank you for making it. The journal is open access but no information is given about how the journal is supported financially (i.e. suggest you ‘may’ be acting as Marketing Agents for selling Cabell’s Blacklist, etc. This is why we can’t have nice things. https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2020/12/01/ssps-early-career-development-podcast-episode-6-ssps-fellowship-and-mentorship-programs-and-the-new-generations-fund/?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=ScholarlyPub. I didn’t put the point clearly. This began to change in 2011, when Cabell’s began developing a set of quality metrics and applying them when considering journals for inclusion in its directory; these metrics were fully implemented in 2013, at which point the directory morphed into a Whitelist; in 2015, Cabell’s removed from its list over 2,000 journals that failed to meet those criteria. International Journal of Business Intelligence Research (IJBIR) Show 13 Indices | View Journal. First, what journal is going to pay to be blacklisted? English editing costs between $200-500 for a 3000 word document depending on the level of . Rick Anderson is University Librarian at Brigham Young University. This seems to have gone off the rails a bit. Who’s their target market? Did you read the entire post? For those looking for an OA or “free resource” (although we have to acknowledge that those on charge of maintaining the list have to put their own time and resources) “Stop Predatory Journals is an alternative free listing for those unable to subscribe a paid service. They offer English editing, journal selection and manuscript formatting. If others follow suit, the publisher will either lower the price or stop providing the service. It seems that if Cabell’s came up with a low-cost way for individual authors to run a check whether a short-list of candidate journals had a clean bill, it could open this up to the masses. In June 2020, Cabells changed the name of its whitelist and blacklist to Journalytics and Predatory Reports, respectively. And here it is worth noting the evolution of Cabells’ directory product over the years. May 2, 2019. I suspect the intended parallel to PLOS is that reading is free. If the criteria of the journal’s inclusion in the Blacklist, then maybe it must be revealed. A 2015 study by researchers at the Hanken School of Economics in Finland found that “predatory” publishing skyrocketed between 2010 and 2014, during which the number of scholarly articles published in journals on Beall’s list increased nearly tenfold. They are not necessarily those held by the Society for Scholarly Publishing nor by their respective employers. Since its founding over 40 years ago, Cabells' services have grown and evolved to include the Journalytics (a searchable, curated database of critical information about verified and reputable academic journals), and the Predatory Reports (the only searchable database that identifies deceptive and fraudulent reports).. A couple of years ago, I published in The Kitchen a review of what was then a new product: Cabell’s Blacklist, a directory of journals that are published using questionable, suspicious, or objectively deceitful and dishonest strategies. I don’t grudge them charging something, but US$57,000 per year for access (what our library was quoted) does seem excessive to me. These problems are compounded by a lack of accountability; with Beall’s List, at least the person characterizing journals as predators was doing so under his own name and taking responsibility for doing so. Thus, the introduction of Cabell’s Blacklist in 2017 was a welcome development. “Advanced” searches no longer routinely fail, sending the user back to the Blacklist home page. This produces a weighted score that increases with the probability that a journal is engaging in deceptive behaviors. (This was actually true of Beall’s List, too: it was paid for by Beall and–to the degree that he used UCD resources to develop and support it–his employer.). It would of public interest to find out one way or other early-on. E.g., was the publisher contacted, but no reply was forthcoming about matters of detail relating to inclusion in either the white or black list? And for those who question the necessity of such a tool, it’s worth noting that Cabell’s Blacklist currently includes almost 12,000 journals — and its list of titles under consideration for inclusion in the Blacklist comes to over 1,000 more. If a researcher asks me whether a journal is predatory, they want to know whether to publish there. –The concept that was suggested about integrating Cabell rankings into A and I sources sounds as if it is worth exploring. Or is this apples and oranges? This is kind of crazy: https://www.nber.org/digest-202012/corporate-reporting-era-artificial-intelligence But of course there are many other criteria to examine, too. I’ve asked for a quote for my Russian university a couple of months ago. The very act of ‘unrestricted’ Free Distribution of new List on the Internet will be heralded as ‘Unselfish Service’ to all those aspiring Chemist, Scientists, Engineers and Research Scholars and Academia (who were/are taken advantage of by the ‘money hungry’ Predatory Journals and their Publishers) and will generate GOODWILL which will emotionally COMPENSATE the creator of new list for a long time to come even after when the creator is retired. Authors or institutions? But that’s the whole point: “free to read” creates an illusion of freeness that can be dangerous if it leads people to think that (legitimate) publishing can be done without significant cost. So, unlike some other data sharing portals, I don’t think publisher funding is an option here without a lot of conflict of interest issues. The Journal … I still recommend that these be expanded, and would particularly urge Cabell’s to make it possible to search by violation type. If you have an actionable plan to create a free version of this list, I’m sure all here would love to hear it (I offered a business model above that would work if the technological difficulties can be overcome). If the price is too high, don’t buy it. As a service increases in demand, so does price and eventually even the best services become inaccessible to many. The constant harassment and lawsuits are the reason why no one picked up his efforts when his university finally pulled the plug (said to have happened due to mounting lawsuit threats from Frontiers). Personnel at Cabell’s use a transparent list of over 60 behavioral indicators when screening journals, and they update their criteria as needed. A quick and easy mechanism by which readers can submit information about journals, Evaluation at the journal level rather than the publisher level, Specific reasons for inclusion provided for each title entry. What’s Hot and Cooking In Scholarly Publishing, [N.B: As of 2020, this product has been renamed Predatory Reports.]. We would be happy to review the quote to confirm the size of your institution and the products for which you would like pricing information, you can reach us at sales@cabells.com. IFs in my view do more harm than good for a variety of reasons. We all know the journals that matter to our professions. The first category includes behaviors that directly indicate deception and are weighted heavily as a result. is this not just another attempt to commodify academia (despite best intentions)? This policy establishes the criteria for identifying deceptive, fraudulent, and/or predatory journals for inclusion in The Journal Blacklist. Likewise, not all government or granting agencies, responsible for dispersing limited research funds, are experts in the field(s) under consideration.

Rick Anderson is a librarian at a “R1” first-tier research university, and in an earlier post he mentioned that Cabell’s had to give him complimentary, temporary access to do the review. In order to be more useful for consumers of published literature Cabells needs create an API or license their data for integration with other content sets. The product now functions well in the Safari browser. If to reveal the journals that were considered, but not included either in the Blacklist or in the Whitelist, then we have one more List. Presently, I say Good By for now. But, I also definitely don’t want there to be publisher payment to be on the whitelist!

I’m especially wondering if they’re institutions so researchers can actually use it, or if they’re publishers, or other. Resources like PLOS One don’t “exist for free”; they’re paid for by people other than readers. To what extent does the data in the Cabell’s white list replicate what’s in Ulrich’s? But I’m with you on $57K being too much. The index in each Directory helps you match the characteristics of your manuscript to the topic areas the journal emphasizes, as well as bibliometrics, journal ranking and acceptance rate. These threats, and the legal costs incurred, are likely the main reason why no one was willing to take on the responsibility post-Beall. This would be a self-defeating strategy. Sorry if that came of differently than I intended. Easier to be a subscriber for your own campus than be a public supporter of a blacklist? Interesting effect of the Nature APC program ... it's clearly causing a number of OA advocates to reflect on their support for OA via APCs. Will this cause a re-alignment of strategy away from APCs by certain funders? The primary strengths of Cabell’s Blacklist product remain the same as they were two years ago. Don’t Miss Your Chance to Participate in the SSP 2021 Annual Meeting! DOI: 10.1016/j.acalib.2018.09.017 Although it is not clear what role/share Cabell´s has in this partnership. In this context, see: https://thinkchecksubmit.org/ By injecting non-vetted content into the scholarly and scientific marketplace and misrepresenting it as peer-reviewed science, these journals contaminate and undermine both the legitimacy and the trustworthiness of scholarly discourse. Cabell’s Blacklist is not limited to open access journals, as it includes journals published by the large publishing companies. Interested readers can see for themselves how severe those infractions were, and thus decide for themselves how concerned they are about publishing with that journal (or how concerned they should be to see a colleague publish in it). Many are complicit in the process and are seeking a shortcut to publication. So unless your institution is publishing 500 predatory journal articles a year and you have employed academics who do not know who the top people in their field are and where they publish, then I agree that US$57,000 a year is too much. A journal website with spelling and grammar errors wouldn’t accumulate many points, for example, but evidence of plagiarized articles or … I want a high quality list, but as soon as it exists, I’ll destroy the business model behind it, so it will no longer exist.

Now it turns out that it is a matter for the discretion of the experts. Publishers Standalone Journals Vanity Press Contact Other Hello. I have good library services through my employer, but we don’t have subscription, and my local Midsize University doesn’t subscribe. #GivingTuesday "The subscription of Cabells is vital to our AACSB accreditation. Beall’s List had offered a mixed bag of benefits and problems from the start, and Cabell’s (publisher of a long-respected serials directory) sought to create a more rigorous and consistent version of the same service. The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is a highly regarded, quality-controlled list of reputable open access journals.. DOAJ has been criticized in the past for letting some questionable journals slip onto the list. And there is some gap in the methodology, because there is no clear distinction between the areas Underreviewlist-Blacklist-List-Whitelist. “PRODUCTS”!!! Our pricing varies based on the size of the institution, duration of the subscription, and of course, the products/disciplines included (i.e. What types of customers are purchasing access to this? So what good are black or white listings if they are invisible to most? Key components for establishing the Blacklist were objectivity and transparency with respect to the … Ah, thanks. –I wonder if Cabell’s black list is mainly suitable for large institutions. GENERAL INFORMATION This is the largest database we are aware of … More information on how are addressing Rick’s observations, as well as updates on plans going forward can be found in the latest post to our blog, The Source: https://blog.cabells.com/2019/05/08/feedback-loop/, Hear about the impact of our career development programs first hand in the latest episode of our Early Career podcast. What might work is a “Subscribe to Open” kind of deal. Yes, agreed. Another important point to keep in mind is that the Journal Blacklist is not just for those who ‘know the journals that matter,’ but it is also for those who may not. Last month in their online blog, The Source, Simon Linacre announced that the list had reached a new milestone, although not one that many will be celebrating. 60 Thoughts on "Cabell’s Predatory Journal Blacklist: An Updated Review". However, if the point is to make a profit and fight legal action, it gets a little muddy, does it not? If I have to give advice to people who ask whether a journal is legit, one of starting points (inter alia) would be: what journals cite the questionable journal? I did not bother to fill out all the required fields for journal selection to get a quote, but one of them was “What is the desired impact factor range?”. Actually Cabell´s do sell advertising : https://www2.cabells.com/advertising $57K for a yearly subscription for one library is definitely more. This product is owned by Clarivate, correct? Cabells introduces two new important features: the Journal Blacklist, the only blacklist of deceptive and predatory academic journals, and Altmetric Reports, a measurement of journal media mention data. It’s kind of a horrifying prospect! to “Minor” (“the website does not identify a physical editorial address for the journal,” “the number of articles published has increased by 25-49% in the last year,” etc.). Predatory publishing is a bane of Russia, India, Indonesia etc, not some Ivy League (or would-be Ivy League) private US universities, but the pricing is suited only for them. –It would be good to know the extent of the “grey list” of those journals that don’t appear on the other two lists. It is important to understand (and Cabell’s is at pains to point this out on its website) that a journal’s removal from the Whitelist does not mean — or even suggest — that the journal has been added to the Blacklist. I have seen other resources exist for free like this, Plos One coming to mind immediately but I could probably think of a few more given more time. While I am glad a new, more rigorously policed resource exists for academics without the time or know-how to check for legitimate publications, I am concerned that it is a subscription based service. Launched in June 2017, Cabells’ Journal Blacklist is still the only database available to scholars of deceptive and predatory academic journals. He has worked previously as a bibliographer for YBP, Inc., as Head Acquisitions Librarian for the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, as Director of Resource Acquisition at the University of Nevada, Reno, and as Associate Dean for Collections & Scholarly Communication at the University of Utah. Editage, aims to accelerate global scientific research communication. As a representative of Cabell’s has pointed out, the price tag that a commenter reported here for the Blacklist was incorrect. Journalytics covers more than 3,000 qualified academic journals spanning UNB's 4 accessible business related disciplines ( Accounting, Economics & Finance, Management, and Marketing ) to help researchers select the best match to publish their manuscripts. In 2015, Cabells began working with Jeffrey Beall, the creator of Beall's list, on developing a new list of predatory journals.In early 2017, Beall's list was abruptly taken offline, leading to speculation that Cabells was involved in the list's removal; the company denied any involvement. The Cabells Whitelist includes detailed information on over 11,000 academic journals within 18 disciplines. Disclosure: When Cabell’s was in the early stages of planning for the creation of this product, I did a few hours of paid consulting work for them and later contributed to a Cabell’s-organized conference panel discussion on the topic of predatory publishing. America knows Donald Trump made many claims, and the whole world knows how many of them are true. A headline banner costs $2600 for a year (24 issues). I am not aware of any. I am sure it will not be long before somebody hacks it and posts it somewhere for everybody. This policy establishes the criteria for identifying deceptive, fraudulent, and/or predatory journals for inclusion in Cabells Predatory Reports. I am amused by this thread. Blacklists, like whitelists, suffer from several limitations: Teixeira da Silva, J.A., Tsigaris, P. (2018) What value do whitelists and blacklists have in academia? It’s only going to get worse with Plan S pressure to go all Gold. Following the closure of Beall’s list of predatory journals, the scholarly analytics company Cabell’s International launched their own in 2017 called The Journal Blacklist. I linked to those criteria in my review, but for your convenience here’s the link again. Inclusion criteria are now more carefully crafted, and less likely to sweep fundamentally honest but low-quality/low-resource journals into the same net as genuinely fraudulent ones. But the value of the blacklist is easy – how much money did your institution lose to scammers last year? The programs are not possible without your support. Hello Mr. David, You too are defending the company who wants to make money off those PhD Students, Research Scholars and universities in Poor and Under-develop Countries!!! Also, how many users was that for? Joseph, Company could make money by placing paid Advertisements within the Cabell’s Blacklist and other sister publications on the internet. Journal Blacklist violations are placed in one of three categories (Severe, Moderate, Minor) based on the level of severity and how directly they relate to deceptive behavior. If you want a free list, then I would ask you where you will find the legal and financial support for the efforts, and how much of your own unpaid time you’re willing to devote to running it and dealing with these issues. ). Just Nobel thoughts you say! THE JOURNAL WHITELIST. Cabell’s blacklist of predatory journals passes 12,000. The price tag for this list is predatory; it does not matter how you spin it. You know the old adage: “Fast, cheap, good: pick two.”. If you seriously think that the market for a journals blacklist is of similar scale to the market for Google, Facebook, and YouTube, then there’s very little reason to continue this discussion.

So, your once again defending this company would not go well with those students, researchers and universities around the world. To end this discussion — I’m happy this product exists, because otherwise, post-Beall, no such list seems to have arisen. My intention was to spin-out why I wouldn’t want to see a publisher-pays APC-like model here and also obliquely raise the prospect that there might be other funding models that would make free access to the data possible – if libraries were willing to do something like subscribe-to-open (and if Cabells was willing to pursue that model – I can imagine reasons that they might not).
