{wiki=Beall's_List}
Beall's List is a controversial resource that compiles a list of "predatory" open access journals and publishers. Originally created by Jeffrey Beall, a librarian and scholar, the list was intended to help researchers identify journals that may not adhere to acceptable academic publishing standards. The term "predatory" refers to journals that exploit the author-pays model without providing proper editorial services, peer review, or other scholarly norms.
