Jeffrey Beall
I work as a librarian at Auraria Library, University of Colorado Denver, in Denver, Colorado.
An academic librarian for over 22 years, I have published extensively in the areas of metadata, full-text searching, and information retrieval.
My interest in scholarly open-access publishing began in 2009 when I reviewed the publisher Bentham Open in The Charleston Advisor, a journal that reviews electronic resources.
Previously, I served on the editorial board of Cataloging & Classification Quarterly, an experience that, in addition to my own research and writing, helped me learn a lot about scholarly communication. My service on this editorial board ended in December, 2012.
A full list of my publications is available on my website. In 2012 I was awarded tenure and promoted to associate professor.
My email address is jeffrey.beall@ucdenver.edu.

[...] Jeffrey Beall keeps an eye on academic journal publishers and has a list of open access journals that are ‘predatory publishers’. He also blogs about new publishers and I was only slightly surprised to see a journal about diabetes in the 66-strong list of shiny new journals from ‘Horizon Research Publishing Corporation’ in his latest (2 May 2013) post.
