#34 Lee #33 y http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2009/09/criticism-of-oa-publisher-bentham.html y deja de decir mentiras:


There is no journal impact factor data for these journals because the data takes three years to compile and all the journals Bentham Open offers are less than three years old. In response to an e-mail inquiry regarding rejection rates for Bentham Open journals, company representative Mehwish Akhter replied, “Rejection rate is different for different journals. Normally it’s 25–30%.”

The membership plan that Bentham Open Access offers is highly questionable, especially the individual membership. The cheapest individual membership is $1,600, and at this rate an author receives a 5 percent discount on author fees. For an article that costs $800 to publish, the discount is $40; to break even at that membership level, an author would need to publish 40 articles. Clearly, very little thought has been put into Bentham’s membership plan; it appears only to be a way to generate revenue for the company from the naive.

The Open Access model is a good one, for it makes research freely available to everyone. However, Bentham Open is exploiting the good will of those who established the Open Access model by twisting it and exploiting it for profit. Just because a journal is Open Access doesn’t make it legitimate or high quality. ...

Bentham Open’s emergence into scholarly publishing in 2007 has served mainly as a venue to publish research of questionable quality. The site has exploited the Open Access model for its own financial motives and flooded scholarly communication with a flurry of low quality and questionable research. By linking to sites such as Bentham Open, libraries are diluting scholarly research and making it more difficult for scholars to sort through the abundance of journal articles available. ...

Y lee sobre el hoax que le metieron al editor: http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2009/06/hoax-exposes-incompetence-or-worse-at.html

#35 Luego diréis que los admin no trollean: pero te ha faltado tiempo para avasallar, con una sobredosis de realidad, los paranoicos devaneos de algunos de los usuarios de menéame.

¿Acaso no están en su derecho de imaginar oscuras conspiraciones sin base alguna?

Esto merece dos o tres "bandeis" de esos.

#36 Leí las primeras palabras y empecé a cabrearme, terminé descojonado de risa

#38 Era esa la intención...

#39 En Vielha son tres años, no disimules.

El resto del comentario síguelo ignorando.

(Tranquilo, apenas se ha notado)

#42 #43 Al final van a ser ciertos los rumores de que te presentas junto a AngelBadia a la candidatura de PPirata.

#39 No hables cagadas. Tengo acceso al listado completo y te digo el resúmen: no está.

Del listado completo de junio de 2010, todas las publicaciones (de todos los países) del editor Bentham que aparecen en el ISI: http://ow.ly/i/3K2h/original

Ninguna de ellas es de la que se habla aquí, ni siquiera de la serie "Open" que comento en #35

PS: también para #34, que son tan listos que no se creen nada a menos que haya evidencia

#8 #11 Creo que va a ser "la otra", Elizabeth Hoover:
