- 47. Un-publication: the dark side of open-access publication (for the desperate, for crackpots and for the naïve) Colin Harrison, University of Nottingham/LSRI Points to consider: -Are online ‘predatory publishers’ any more predatory than regular publishers? -Are ‘Scholarly’ Open-Access Publications (SOAPs) valuable? - For the desperate- yes - And for crackpots- yes - For the naïve – potentially less reliable than Wikipedia - SOAPs do greatly extend the possibilities for publishing online for academics in non-OECD nations -Take-home message: CAVEAT LECTOR
