Some time ago, I wrote about the anonymous website Predatory Reports. Some things about it struck me as sketchy.
It looks like my instincts were on the money. 💵
The commercial journal vetting service Cabells is reporting major misdeeds from Predatory Reports. Specifically that:
- The site has a bunch of plagiarized material.
- The site owner tried to squeeze money out of Cabells.
I doubt this story is done. This is, I think, only the second act. Since the story isn’t done. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to have a moral quite yet, but it might be one of the academic Moscow rules: always trust your gut.
Hat tip to Anna Abalkina.
