Press freedom and worldwide internet access have opened ample opportunity for a staggering number of poor open access journals and junk publishers to emerge. Dubious publishers are abusing and camouflaging the golden open access model. In 2012, Jeffery Beall shed light on the predatory journals (as he preferred to call them) and the threat to open access scientific publication. Publishing in predatory journals is continuing to be a major threat for the development of science in developing countries. The authors of this article proposed solutions and outline a fresh perspective to help authors avoid publishing in predatory journals.
新闻自由和全球互联网接入为大量劣质开放获取期刊和垃圾出版商的涌现创造了充足机会。可疑出版商正在滥用和伪装黄金开放获取模式。2012年，杰弗里·比尔揭示了掠夺性期刊（他更喜欢这样称呼它们）以及对开放获取科学出版的威胁。在掠夺性期刊上发表文章仍然是发展中国家科学发展的一大威胁。本文作者提出了解决方案，并勾勒出一个全新视角，以帮助作者避免在掠夺性期刊上发表文章。
