Predatory publisher

[edit]

Please read this sentence and investigate its sources. Editors seem to be breaking their backs to connect the subject of this BLP to predatory publishing.

Silbermann is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Palliative Care & Medicine published by the OMICS Publishing Group[citation needed], which has been described as a predatory publisher.[1]

There are big problems with this sentence:

  • Science Magazine does not mention Michael Silbermann
  • Science Magazine does not even mention Journal of Palliative Care & Medicine
  • Although it is likely true we dont even have a source that states that Silbermann works for the Journal or that the Journal is published by OMICS.

How can such a thin trail of sources be used to make statements about a living person? 40.134.67.50 (talk) 22:12, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There can't be an RfC on every minor disagreement at Wikipedia. If a talk page discussion is not to your satisfaction, try WP:BLPN or WP:NPOVN or WP:RSN. In particular, please have a look at the basis of Wikipedia: it is built by cooperative volunteers using open-source software all the way down to the metal. Is it likely that efforts to whitewash predatory publishing would be successful here? Johnuniq (talk) 23:11, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
