Some are cynical (padding their resumes), some naïve, some a strange mix:
"I was shocked by how adrift many authors seemed when faced with the workings of scholarly publishing…Several researchers mistook me for a journal and replied to my #survey e-mail by attaching articles, with comments thanking me in advance for their 'next quick publication' or asking me 'how much it will cost them in dollars'."
@petersuber It's nice that they identify SciELO as a model. Adoption of preprints and an "assessment quality" tier of publications would go a long way to ending this long-running scam.
