Matthias Smed LarsenIt sucks that posting a paper on <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/SSRN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SSRN</a> (or probably any widely used <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/preprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#preprint</a> platform) results in semi-regular spam emails from predatory publishers offering to publish it in their (often thematically inappropriate) predatory journals.Of course, most people probably send them to spam, but I imagine they're using the scattershot technique where they just need to catch a few people unaware of their practices who desperately need publications.<a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/AcademicPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcademicPublishing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.coffee/tags/PredatoryPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PredatoryPublishing</a>

Emilia Jarochowska 🇺🇦🌱Do you also receive a lot of <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spam</a> from <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/MDPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MDPI</a>? They likely breached the Swiss Federal Data Protection Law in at least two aspects: 1. You never signed up, 2. There is no link to opt out. They are liable to (civil) charges under this Law. What a joy it would be to sue them, eh? 😉 <a href="https://circumstances.run/tags/PredatoryPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PredatoryPublishing</a>

open-access.networkDas <a href="https://openbiblio.social/tags/PredatoryPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PredatoryPublishing</a> hat eine neue Dimension erreicht: Mit Hilfe von <a href="https://openbiblio.social/tags/KI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KI</a> wurden Inhalte generiert und namenhaften Wissenschaftler*innen zugeschrieben. Das ist Urheberrechtsverletzung, Reputationsschädigung und Identitätsdiebstahl.Wir haben in unserem Forum einen Ort für den Erfahrungsaustausch dazu geschaffen. Das soll helfen, die Relevanz der Problematik besser einschätzen und good practices für den Umgang damit entwickeln zu können: <a href="https://forum.open-access.network/t/neue-dimensionen-von-predatory-publishing-mithilfe-von-ki/1498" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forum.open-access.network/t/neue-dimensionen-von-predatory-publishing-mithilfe-von-ki/1498</a>Vielen Dank für euren Beitrag.

MAHansonFollowing the delisting of MDPI's flagship journal IJERPH from Clarivate/Web of Science, I've penned a perspective.
