• Is a business model leveraging the Article Processing Charge (APC) without providing the services of legitimate publishers
• Makes fraudulent misrepresentation of claims to peer review
• May charge an APC  and not even publish the article
• Does not furthering the academic conversation
• Can have negative effects on science and health
