Beware of Predatory Open Access Publishers
Open Access publishing business models sometimes involve charging publication fees to authors without providing the editorial and publishing services. If you recieve offers from publishers/journals you do not know, it is a good idea to check with your library and consult Jeffrey Beall's list of publishers and independent journals that might be predatory publishers.
