This is unfortunate development but a heads up can make a big difference.
Thanks much.  And yes, I also am 'pleased as punch' to see a TIPS post.

I am puzzled that physicists would attend a conference by an
organization they are not familiar with or is not well known in the discipline.
Do they really think that they want to present their "best" work in these
venues or even think that it would be highly regarded by the promotions/salary

RE: [tips] I Thought the Germans Were Smart?

2018-07-21 Thread Stuart McKelvie 
Dear Tipsters,

Perhaps people from Germany publish in predatory journals, but we need 
comparative data to know if they do so more or less frequently than people from 
other countries.

At the risk of self-promotion, Tipsters might be interested in two papers that 
I have published on the question of predatory journals:


McCutcheon, L. E., Aruguete, M. S., McKelvie, S., Jenkins, W., Williams, J., 
McCarley, N., Rivardo, M., & Shaughnessy, M. F. (2016). How questionable are 
predatory social science journals? North American Journal of Psychology, 18 
(1), 427-440.

McKelvie, S. J. (2017b). “A Case for Treatment”: What do research reports on 
salt and pepper passage reveal about research and publication practices? 
Current Psychology. Published on line June 1. doi: 10.1007/s12144-017-9620-x

Sincerely,

Stuart
