Blacklists (or watchlists) pertaining to “predatory” open access publishing by Jeffrey Beall, anonymous websites that cloned Beall’s blacklists, with or without updates, as well as a now-defunct blacklist, Dolos list, contain classification errors. During a Google search in 2021–2022, we found that dozens of academic libraries around the world, primarily in the USA, had continued to promote those blacklists. The list was revisited on 23 February 2023, focusing on libraries in seven Anglophonic countries, noting that 37 libraries were still promoting the Beall-based blacklists.Keywords: Academic and scholarly communicationblacklistsdisinformationopen accessquality NotesAuthors’ contributionsThe authors contributed equally to the intellectual discussion underlying this paper, literature exploration, writing, reviews and editing, and accept responsibility for the content and interpretation.DisclaimerAn earlier version of this paper was published as a preprint: https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/2xscwDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Select websites: https://predatoryjournals.com/ (now defunct); https://beallslist.net/; https://www.researchgate.net/post/List_of_Predatory_Journals_2019; https://predatory-publishing.com/info/; https://www.openacessjournal.com/blog/predatory-journals-list/2 RMH, RWH, PMCC and Victorian Mental Health, Health Sciences Library; Western Sydney University Library.3 Saint Mary’s University, Patrick Power Library; Eastern Michigan University Library; Frontier Nursing University Library; Hofstra University School of Medicine Library; Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey Library; Salisbury University Libraries.4 https://predatoryjournals.com/5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_publishing (last accessed: 23 February 2023)","PeriodicalId":39383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135888533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 335 scientists from Indonesia’s three reputable universities in the field of natural sciences, environmental sciences, engineering, health sciences, and agricultural sciences completed the online questionnaire. To interpret the correlation between scientists’ behaviors, several regression models in the Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) were used. The study found that scientists’ ISB was influenced by various factors, such as demographic, psychological, role-related, and environmental factors. The academic position was found to be the dominant factor influencing ISB.","PeriodicalId":39383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The University of Tennessee (UT) Libraries began gathering Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) in 2019 to demonstrate compliance with federal and state laws and university policy. This analysis seeks to identify trends in VPAT creation over time, as well as how to converse with a vendor based on how the VPAT itself is completed. After analyzing 161 VPATs, the authors found that the number of VPATs completed correctly has increased in recent years. Vendors can still improve VPATs by correctly completing and disclosing information, as well as make them widely available.","PeriodicalId":39383,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
