Crossref edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

According to this, OMICS has been excluded from Crossref, meaning that it's journals don't have valid DOIs any more. Those that are displayed are apparently fake (p. 4). I have not added this to the article, because I have no access to the complete article on The Geyser and the second source is a PhD thesis, which I'd rather not cite. Perhaps somebody here has access to The Geyser or can find another adequate source. Given the importance of correct DOIs for accessing articles, this is a major thing. --Randykitty (talk) 16:41, 21 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

According to the Crossref board minutes, the following motions have been passed:

To ratify the account termination, for cause, of OMICS Publishing Group (Member ID 2674); Ashdin Publishing (Member ID 2853); Scitechnol Biosoft Pvt. Ltd. (Member ID 9225); and Herbert Publications PVT LTD (Member ID 4912).
That the Executive Committee's May 29, 2020 termination of certain Crossref members linked with former Crossref member OMICS is hereby ratified.

Edit filter "use of predatory open access journal" triggered edit

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I changed all "http:" to "https:" and this popped up, and I'm not sure which website the filter was pointing to, but what is not correct with citing a predatory journal on an article about a predatory publisher? —CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ] [ CONT ]} 05:07, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Don't worry about it. See [1] for recent edits with that tag. Johnuniq (talk) 06:53, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Change of name from the publisher edit

According to this Nature article,^[1] this publishing company has now changed name. I have added a quick link to this in the intro, but we should probably rename the page.
