For example:Suggest a journal or publisher that we should look atIf you look at our X (nee Twitter) feed, you'll see that we have look at quite a few publishers and individual journals, but we are always on the look out for more. We would welcome suggestions from you and we would give those suggested by our Patrons priority when deciding what to look at.As our investigation unfolds we would keep our patrons up to date, before we make the information more widely available.Suggest topics that coverWe are more than happy to hear from our patrons about topics that we should discuss on our platforms. We will ask, interact and work with you to help us frame our content.
$15/moPublication and Publisher AnalysisHiddenThis tier is specifically for librarians, or others who provide advice and guidance to researchers who publish in the scientific literature. As part of this subscription you will receive the following.Publication ListsWe often tweet about and/or list on our blog a set of publications from a particular search query. For example, the most highly cited papers on predatory publishing or the most recent papers on paper mills.We we produce these lists, we invariably just show the first few papers due to limitation on space. If you support as a patron at this tier level, whenever we produce one of these lists, we will send you the complete set of papers in a PDF document, together with a clickable link that will take you directly to the paper.The report will be presented in such a way that you will easily be able to share it with your colleagues.Journal/Publisher ReportsOnce we have analyzed a journal/publisher we will provide a brief recommendation on our web site about this journal. This will be supported by a much more detailed document which goes into the reasons behind the recommendation we are making.These reports will be sent to the patrons at this tier level as and when they become available.
