Beware of Predatory Journals!
Colleagues: Have you received any emails from publishers that just don’t seem legit?
Jeffrey Beall provides definitions of predatory journals and predatory open access publishing here. In 2008, Beall had started to generate and publish a list of predatory publishers to alert faculty to scammers, and received assistance from Cabell’s. In 2017, Beall was forced to take down the list.
An anonymous group, “Stop Predatory Journals”, has taken Beall’s old list and updated it to provide a list of predatory publishers and predatory journals. They also provide some basic criteria for identifying a potential predatory publisher.
So–have you received any emails from publishers that just don’t seem legit? What did you do about it, and how can we help? Please share your experiences (as well as the names of those predatory publishers or journals) below–you will help out your colleagues by doing so!
(Thank you to SCSU librarian Cindy Gruwell for bringing this back to our attention, with those new updated lists!)
Publishing is a Business
Please contact us, if you have an OER in progress and are contemplating publishing it soon

What is OER?
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning or research materials either Creative Commons licensed or within the public domain, allowing for re-use or adaptation.
OERs include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, software, or any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support free access to knowledge.
Where can I find examples of OER?
The St Cloud State University Library Open Access Subject Guide provides searchable collections of open textbooks, open educational resources, open access journals/ebooks, open data, and free licensed media.
The St. Cloud State University OER Blog will give people an opportunity to discuss and explore existing and new OER.
Who can help me find OER?
The University Library can help you locate OERs in your discipline and discuss Creative Commons licensing. Please contact Rachel Wexelbaum at rswexelbaum@stcloudstate.edu for more information.
Who can help me develop OER?
The University Library / InforMedia Services will work with you to develop OERs for your courses rich on multimedia and interactivity. Please contact Plamen Miltenoff at pmiltenoff@stcloudstate.edu for more information.
The Minnesota State System Office provides opportunities for OER review, learning circles, workshops, and funding opportunities through their Faculty Development Connect site. To subscribe, please contact Kimberly Johnson, Minnesota State Faculty Development Coordinator, at kimberly.johnson@minnstate.edu.
