There’s no definitive way to measure how predatory a journal is. Special issue count? APCs? Peer review quality? Website design? These indicators are often subjective, inconsistent, and context-dependent. No single metric tells the full story. #AcademicPublishing #Predatory #Science
I have a slightly different view (though can hear what you are saying). Beall's problem was that he just listed journals/publishers as predatory or not, without stating his methodology or saying why a journal was classified as such.

Even common plants with broad-scale distributions are going to feel the effects of climate change. We modeled plant responses using species distribution modeling and demographic surveys to find that B. stricta is at risk of decline. @science.org

This is one of the worst violations of research ethics I've ever seen. Manipulating people in online communities using deception, without consent, is not "low risk" and, as evidenced by the discourse in this Reddit post, resulted in harm.
Great thread from Sarah, and I have additional thoughts. 🧵

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

Now soliciting advice for sending viable (seed) material to international collaborators and receiving non-viable (dried leaves) material from international collaborators (Czech Republic). The USDA’s website is a tad overwhelming and I’d love to chat with someone with experience! Please help!! 🍎

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...
It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.
