Predatory conference
- ... that Christoph Bartneck wrote a nonsense submission for a predatory conference using iOS's autocomplete function and it was accepted within three hours?
- Reviewed: QPQ to follow
- Comment: The source for the basic facts in ALT0 is this article from The Guardian. The fact that OMICS and ConferencSeries are running predatory conferences is in the FTC lawsuit reported by STAT News, in Inside Higher Ed here, and is discussed here in Jeffrey Beall's Scholarly Open Access blog.
I could offer an alternative like "... that the Federal Trade Commission has taken legal action against a publisher of predatory journals and organiser of predatory conferences alleging deceptive conduct?" but I think ALT0 is more interesting, so I'll hold off unless there is a problem.
