But we all know (without mentioning names) that there are some
companies out there taking advantage of the low barriers to entry
in OA journal publishing to operate scam operations that are set
up to take from unwary authors. I wonder how many of these
journals are counted in the DOAJ total? Does DOAJ attempt to
verify whether a journal really is a legitimate operation?
