True colours finally revealed
A list of "predatory" open access journal publishers initiated by Jeffrey Beall was considered to be per se a useful service to the scientific research community, as an aid to determine the credentials of emerging publishers in the absence of appropriate bibliometrics such as 'impact factor'. That was until this blog post mentioned an incredulous attack on the open access concept. Mr Beall published an article that dismisses open access as some sort of quasi-communist European plot to deny freedom of expression. The article is laughable in terms of contradiction, confusion and factual error. It was published open access. :)
The rant reminded of the notorious claim by Mr Ballmer that: "linux is a[n intellectual property] cancer". One can assume that Mr Beall is equally ignorant of open source software.
