Be aware of Predatory publishing?...
Word ‘Predatory’ was coined by by Jeffry Beall in 2010
…predatory publishers…publish counterfeit journals to exploit the open-access model in which the author pays. These predatory publishers are dishonest and lack transparency. They aim to dupe researchers, especially those inexperienced in scholarly communication.
Beall, J. (2012) “Predatory publishers are corrupting open access”, Nature, vol. 489 iss. 7415.
