论文摘要
我们对Laakso等人最近的一篇文章发表评论。 （Arxiv：2008.11933 [CS.DL]），其中指出了176个开放访问期刊的消失。我们认为，这些期刊可能消失的原因之一是它们是掠夺性期刊。掠食者从2014年开放访问期刊目录以及北美大量的掠夺性期刊和意识中的大量捕食者脱落，这是Laakso等人的时间和地理模式。观察到。
We comment on a recent article by Laakso et al. (arXiv:2008.11933 [cs.DL]), in which the disappearance of 176 open access journals from the Internet is noted. We argue that one reason these journals may have vanished is that they were predatory journals. The de-listing of predators from the Directory of Open Access Journals in 2014 and the abundance of predatory journals and awareness thereof in North America parsimoniously explain the temporal and geographic patterns Laakso et al. observed.
