    @SerhatTutkal Something I discovered when a journal published a peer reviewed article that libelled me is that there is absolutely no mechanism for regulating journals. Journal editors can do whatever the hell they want, the only constraint being whether their publisher has any sense of ethics (spoiler alert: they don't).

    Other than that your only option is legal action, which is way too expensive for 99% of us.

    @statsguy Yes, it is particularly difficult when you are not based in a country with one of their offices. I guess we are all too busy searching for the next contract or collecting points for the next performance evaluation, so no time for trying to increase our control over the publication process of our findings.
