Anyone who has published an academic paper or presented at a conference gets emails every day from a range of dodgy journals and publishing projects - I dread to think what some of the more prolific academic authors here wade through. Long gone are the days where "two papers a year" is enough to stay in the game -- and since, for the kind of detailed ethnographic and archival work folks like me do for every paper, that's a tough ask, then it's impossible to compete. This article from El Pais lays it out in grim detail.
