Predatory journals: no definition, no defence

Leading scholars and publishers from ten countries have agreed a definition of predatory publishing that can protect scholarship. It took 12 hours of discussion, 18 questions and 3 rounds to reach.

Thanks, Russell. You are a man of great patience.

As a freelance journalist, who only writes for money, I long ago gave up on the idea of only pitching story ideas to one editor at a time. Depending on the topic and time factor, three to five query letters sent at the same time were not unusual. First editor to bite gets the story, and the size of checks did not vary much. Ah, but that was in the good old days when ink-on-paper publishing was viable.

All the best to you in the new year.
