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

Because if they were, why would they publish so often in predatory journals?
See:
https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/german-scientists-frequently-publish-in-predatory-journals-64518?utm_campaign=TS_DAILY%20NEWSLETTER_2018&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=64601974&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9o3zIKA79d8FjbilrrSlgxvZtC0dWq2En7cSAslGa66fUKyjDB3zhCea2MW1tpUWp9YXuu32lB1QkL_6n-0Cm8sJrtDw&_hsmi=64601974

Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm....".  Maybe they are relying
too much on their "Gut Reasoning" (see Gerd Gigerenzer's work
on 'fast and fugal heuristics' and how they make a person 'smart').

NOTE:  seems like a lot of this is going on around the world with
an estimated 400,000 researchers engaging in the practice.
