| Jan 26, 2017 at 15:49 | comment | added | Emilie | @StrongBad I would love to, but I don't have the appropriate knowledge! I'm simply assessing applications... Your question is very appropriate and important tough. | |
| Jan 25, 2017 at 19:19 | comment | added | StrongBad | @Emilie this is off topic, but DOAJ is still sponsored by Frontiers, Hindawi, and MDPI (among others) and that makes me question their judgment and independence. Would love to see you give an answer to my original question. | |
| Jan 25, 2017 at 15:23 | comment | added | Emilie | @StrongBad DOAJ, as stated in one of the answer of that question, is reviewing the reapplications of journals accepted before 2014. As an editor, I can tell we are working hard on these issues! And each journal on the list has the date of inclusion in DOAJ. | |

| Jan 25, 2017 at 9:30 | comment | added | Joce | Looking up the editorial board is also an important step. Of course, some predatory journals list people who may not have agreed to be on the board or may have been trapped, so do not take the list completely for granted. More generally, it is a good idea to publish in journals that have published papers you have used for your research, or where your community usually publishes. If these do not want to consider your paper, then the problem is more likely with the paper than with the journal. | |

Also, I liked how Beall included when the names of respected academics were used without authorization/when they weren't affiliated with the predatory journal. There's no easy way to tell without contacting the individual in question. | |
