Pervious to just 2-3 years ago, any journal that charged fees for publication was considered a predator.

<br>
</span> Yes, it does but really just a binary issue: is the journal a<br>
"predatory" journal or not. "Predatory" is a term I don't like<br>
so I put a more neutral tone into the blog post. Some of these<br>
journals are in RePEc and use their listing in RePEc to<br>
boost their legitimacy. This has implications for the<br>
perceived quality of RePEc data.<br>

</span> Deception is something we can actually proove.<br>

</span> Sad to see you go, but I will sign you off as you request.<br>
