Predatory publishers, solicitation scams, and unethical publishing practices — the Research Commons needs your stories!

This year during International Open Access Week (October 19-25), the Research Commons, in partnership with the Libraries’ Publishing Program and the Copyright Resources Center, will host a panel discussion about the potentials and pitfalls of Open Access publishing.

As we prepare, we invite OSU faculty, postdocs, and graduate students to share your experiences with unscrupulous publishers and questionable publishing practices. We will use your experiences to inform our program, and may ask your permission to share especially relevant stories more widely.

Please email your story to Melanie Schlosser (schlosser.40@osu.edu) by September 1st.

Program organizers: Josh Sadvari (Research Commons Program Manager), Sandra Enimil (Head, Copyright Resources Center), and Melanie Schlosser (Digital Publishing Librarian).
