We are bombarded with numerous emails daily requesting to submit a paper, become a member of the editorial board, or attend a meeting. It implies that there should be a defect in the publishing business model that allows predatory journals to creep in and outnumber legitimate ones. Conventionally, the cost of publishing was covered by subscription (subscriptionbased). Budapest Open Access Initiative (1) was the first to declare open access to scholarly published articles in 2002, followed by the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (2) and Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities in 2003 (3). The author-payer model is now called gold open access, in which the author is charged when the paper is accepted for publication.
