English abstract

The current report presents the results of this monitoring exercise. This report gives the result of the comparison of (1) the journals published by publishers listed on Beall’s list of predatory open access publishers and the journals listed on Beall’s list of standalone journals as of 6 November 2014 and (2) the VABB-SHW list of journals as submitted to the GP as of July 2014. This report is intended to facilitate the GP’s decision-making. More generally, the report may raise awareness on the prevalence of predatory open access publishing in the social sciences and humanities in Flanders, The results presented in this ad hoc report make clear that authors affiliated to universities in Flanders may have been misled by or may have resorted to predatory open access publishing at least 138 times in the period 2000-2013. In addition 49 articles that appeared with Hindawi Publishing Corporation were identified.
