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 ___________________________________________________________________________ "Floreat Labore" [cid:image001.jpg@01D11876.FED84950] "Recti cultus pectora roborant" Stuart J.

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. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu<mailto:m...@nyu.edu> --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: smcke...@ubishops.ca<mailto:smcke...@ubishops.ca>.
