On how to devalue journals

Annales Philosophici 7:5-9 (2014)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

In this follow-up of my previous article, I continue to analyze and describe the current situation of academic publishing in Romania, but this time I plan to take a closer look at the status of academic journals. While one could be impressed by the current proliferation of this type of publications, we must be aware that this also unavoidably brings inflation in this field and, as a predictable consequence, a lack of genuine interest for the matters published in these journals. Also, we cannot help addressing the subject of profit-seeking publishers.
