出過兩位諾貝爾獎得主，TIMES 世界大學排名 72 的 Erasmus University Rotterdam。

他們的圖書館公告，請大家要注意掠奪性期刊的聲明頁面，提到 Beall’s list 可以參考，但其實裏頭有些錯誤。

特別指名，Beall’s list 誤將 Frontiers 與 MDPI 列入，但這兩家是貨真價實的正當出版社 (Genuine publishers)，這是因為 Beall 過於執著於傳統的出版模式，對於許多在同儕審閱流程做出創新的好雜誌社很不友善。

我認為，這樣的論點頗為公允。也指出了全球學術界在進步、在創新，但同時也有保守勢力與時代進步的拉扯。

Librarian Jeffrey Beall wrote a critical blog about scholarly OA publishing and maintained a “list of predatory journals and publishers” and criteria for determining predatory Open-Access publishers. An archived version is being updated.

There’s also some criticism about this list, because Mr. Beall was very critical about any digression from the traditional peer review system and this influences his blog. Genuine publishers who experiment with innovations in the area of peer review may find themselves on the list (e.g. Frontiers and MDPI). Still it is a very useful resource to check the credibility of a journal.
