| Jul 10 at 12:03 | comment | added | Anyon | @Allure Beall was at University of Colorado Denver at the time. Anyway, in the comments to that post Beall maintained that he considered Hindawi "borderline" rather than "predatory". Unless you have better evidence for the claim, I would suggest removing that bullet point altogether. | |
| Jul 10 at 8:05 | comment | added | Allure | Searching the Wayback Machine I found this article: web.archive.org/web/20131005233414/http://scholarlyoa.com/2013/…. Beall wrote: "Is this the future of scholarly publishing, dumbed down and offshore?" So he didn't directly say that being based in Egypt is bad, but did suggest that not being based wherever he was is bad. | |
| Jul 10 at 8:04 | comment | added | Allure | @FedericoPoloni I don't think Beall made that particular claim, but he did suggest that being based in Egypt is "bad". Exact text would be difficult to find since the website is defunct now, however. I referred to it previously here (second last bullet point): academia.stackexchange.com/a/115704/84834. | |
| Jul 10 at 7:58 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | Do you have a reference for the claim that Beall called a journal predatory for being based in Egypt? | |
