dc.descriptionPublishing and evaluation with peer review at its core are essential components of the scientific endeavor. Yet traditional academic publishing models, research evaluation and peer-review systems have never been entirely immune from exploitation and malpractice, with the risk of compromising the integrity of research and making the scholarly communication system vulnerable to overt commercial predation. While the digitization of scholarly communication and ongoing development of open access models have undoubtedly revolutionized many aspects of scientific endeavor – creating exciting new avenues for the access, dissemination and production of knowledge - they have also, in some ways, exacerbated this predation. Shifting paradigms of research communication, evaluation, peer review, institutional rankings, metrics and business models, have created more space for predatory academic practices to take root and thrive.
