“…OA was viewed as a route to increasing access to research findings whilst also increasing the visibility of research. In particular, in less‐developed countries, and other countries such as Korea and India that are investing in developing research cultures and expertise, it was expected to enhance access to scholarly resources, enhance research infrastructure, and facilitate an erosion of the divide between local and global journals (Mukherjee, ). It would seem that there is still a long road to travel before this can be delivered for developed and developing countries alike.…”

This article reports on scholarly communication and open access (OA) in Korea. Drawing on a range of databases, articles, and reference sources, it provides unique insights. In contrast to the UK/US model of scholarly communication, in Korea, most scholarly journals are published by discipline‐based scholarly societies and research institutes affiliated to universities. Payment for publication is the norm, and typically features article processing charges and scholarly society membership fees for both OA and toll access (TA) journals. Online access to journals in Korea is provided by commercial vendors who enter into contracts with the scholarly societies for exclusive use. Three online access models apply – TA, gold OA, and dual access – with the use of these models varying between disciplines. In parallel with this access provided by commercial vendors, there are a number of government‐funded open access repositories (OARs) to which university researchers are requested to deposit their research outputs, as well as OARs run by universities and other research institutes.

“…To conclude, we certainly need more studies that investigate the motives and the experiences of authors publishing in predatory journals in more detail [41,42]. At this point, even if we concede that some L1 English authors from more 'central' positions might be also affected by them, it seems proven that the majority of authors in these journals are younger and less experienced academics from developing countries [2,3,20,45], and it is probably not a coincidence that this is the case. Calls for raising awareness of fraudulent practices associated with open-access publishing in these contexts are definitely important [43], and these calls may help some researchers to avoid the traps of these publishers, but that alone will not be enough.…”

Unexpected Emails to Submit Your Work: Spam or Legitimate Offers? The Implications for Novice English L2 Writers

This article analyzes the discourse of what have been termed ‘predatory publishers’, with a corpus of emails sent to scholars by hitherto unknown publishers. Equipped with sociolinguistic and discourse analytic tools, we argue that the interpretation of these texts as spam or as legitimate messages may not be as straightforward an operation as one may initially believe. We suggest that English L2 scholars might potentially be more affected by publishers who engage in these email practices in several ways, which we identify and discuss. However, we argue that examining academic inequalities in scholarly publishing based exclusively on the native/non-native English speaker divide might not be sufficient, nor may it be enough to simply raise awareness about such publishers. Instead, we argue in favor of a more sociologically informed analysis of academic publishing, something that we see as a necessary first step if we wish to enhance more democratic means of access to key resources in publishing.

“…At one extreme are countries in which the APC system is predominant. This is the case in the USA, Great Britain and the Netherlands, with a large presence of commercial publishers, and also in India, where publishers have specialized in this type of operation 25 …”
