Wikipedia defines predatory open access publishing as follows:
"In academic publishing, some publishers and journals have attempted to exploit the business model of open access publishing by charging large fees to authors without providing the editorial and publishing services associated with more established and legitimate journals. Beall's List, a regularly-updated report by Jeffrey Beall, sets forth criteria for categorizing predatory publications and lists publishers and independent journals that meet those criteria."
