  10. Introducing Claire Redhead Membership & Communications Manager

  11. Procedure • Initial review by Membership & Communications Manager • Reviewconfirmed by Membership Committee (2 people). • On occasion President involved in discussion. • Full boardnotifiedofreview for anyadditionalcomments.

  12. Criteria • A credible editorial board listed with full names and affiliations. • Appropriate licensing policy, clearly visible on website and individual articles (on at least one journal). • Any fees should be stated clearly and posted where they can be easily found. If a journal/publisher applies no fees, this should also be stated on the website. • Clearly defined peer review process.

  13. A business address is listed. • A complaints address is listed. • Can you contact the editor directly? • Information on the journal/publishing organization’s ownership structure is available.

  14. Whatwealsolook for • Any stray information or items that would confuse readers that this is an OA journal? (e.g. RightsLink left on). • Are there any claims against this journal/publisher being made in various forums? Do these warrant consideration? • What indexing or database inclusion does the publisher/journal list and can this be verified?

  15. Does the publisher make claims that seem unrealistic (e.g. peer review in 2 days)? Are claims supported (e.g. published manuscripts include submission, acceptance and publication dates). • Are articles available in XML as well as other formats? Lack of an XML file does not imply wrong-doing, but indicates lower quality as articles are not machine readable. • Does the publisher have a preservation strategy? (e.g. are they a member of LOCKSS, CLOCKS, Portico, etc.?)

  16. The journal(s) have a clean layout. • There is an appropriate use of language on the website? • If an individual is listed as Editor-in-Chief for more than one journal is this explained? Does it seem reasonable? Are the fields related?

  17. Follow up • Codeofconduct & complaintsprocedure • Monitor Beall’s List and similar to alert members
