The author expression of concern (AEOC): A proposed formal mechanism to allow authors' legitimate concerns to be heard, and their rights and voices to be respected
Account Res. 2023 Oct 9. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2023.2258625.

Are the lists of questionable journals reasonable: A case study of early warning journal lists
Account Res. 2023 Sep 22. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2023.2261846. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe lists of questionable journals are regarded a policy or tool to ensure research quality and integrity. However, due to their lack of clear criteria, they remain highly debated. Taking a typological perspective, we assess the reasonableness of the lists of questionable journals by examining how well it reflects the differences in bibliometric attributes among distinct groups when categorizing and labeling them, and whether these differences are consistent. Using the Early Warning Journal Lists released by the National Science Lib...
