But, with OA publishers asking authors &#8212; or their institutions &#8212; to pay article processing charges to make the work open to all readers, the latter group of journals (little-known and sloppy) have been able to make a good deal of money from unwitting scholars.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey Beall called this subset of OA publishers \u201cpredatory\u201d and created an online list of \u201cpredatory publishers.\u201d A not insignificant number of researchers in higher education, including many librarians, voiced concerns about some of Beall\u2019s criteria, and some of his judgements, but many authors found it helpful to check his list before submitting an article to an open access journal. But with Beall\u2019s list recently taken down, where should authors go to find which OA journals to avoid?<\/p>\n<p>How about knowing which OA journals to support instead? Beall\u2019s list was a blacklist, but there are white lists widely available. These lists identify journals and publishers that follow established, recognized standards in open access publishing. The Directory of Open Access Journals (<a href=\"http:\/\/doaj.org\/\">doaj.org<\/a>) is one excellent list, as well as the membership list for the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/oaspa.org\/membership\/members\/\">oaspa.org\/membership\/members<\/a>).
