Jeffrey Beall 确定 MDPI 上榜黑名单的理由 http://tieba.baidu.com/mo/q/checkurl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fscholarlyoa.com%2F2014%2F02%2F18%2Fchinese-publishner-mdpi-added-to-list-of-questionable-publishers&urlrefer=6ad32e058cd83354c10ba5e19759ae82 Chinese Publisher MDPI Added to List of Questionable Publishers Updated 2014-02-23 I have added the Chinese publisher MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute) to my list of questionable publishers. This is not a decision I have taken lightly. There is increasing evidence that MDPI is a highly questionable scholarly publisher, evidence that compels me to add the publisher to my list and to recommend that scholars: Not submit papers to any of the MDPI journals Not accept invitations to serve as journal editors or editorial board members, including as guest editors for the publisher’s many “special” issues Resign from any MDPI editorial boards they are currently serving on, and resign as editors The publisher MDPI is increasingly becoming synonymous with its founder and owner Shu-Kun Lin, himself the subject of increasing criticism and controversy. Lin and his vocal lackeys attack anyone who thinks critically about or dares question the legitimacy of MDPI. Here are the reasons I have decided to add MDPI to my list: 1. The publisher cleverly uses the names and reputations of legitimate scholars, including Nobel laureates, to make the operation look more legitimate and accepted than it really is. The publisher claims that that several Nobel Laureates serve on its editorial boards, but one investigation found that they didn’t realize they were listed. Also, MDPI publisher Shu-Kun Lin managed to convince the former de facto head of the open-access movement, Peter Suber, to serve on the editorial board of one its journals, Publications, a tactic designed, in my opinion, to forestall criticism of MDPI from OA advocates and to mingle the publisher’s reputation with Suber’s and that of the OA movement itself. [I was also personally invited to serve on the journal's editorial board by MDPI owner Shu-Kun Lin but declined. In 2010, I published a paper in one of the firm's journals, an action I now regret.] 2. The publisher has a large fleet of journals, many with one-word names, copying the practices used by legitimate subscription journals such as Cell. MDPI uses the gold (author pays) model of open-access publishing, and I think its article processing charges are high, and the publisher regularly launches new journals. The journals’ one-word titles (e.g., Animals, Children, Diversity) give each journal a broad scope, a strategy that draws in more articles and their accompanying author payments. 3. Because its mission is to earn as much money as possible through article submissions, the publisher regularly accepts questionable papers, resulting in a kind of “controversy of the month” for MDPI that draws attention – both wanted and unwanted – to the publisher. For example, a 2011 MDPI paper entitled The Australian Paradox: A Substantial Decline in Sugars Intake over the Same Timeframe that Overweight and Obesity Have Increased has led a professor to campaign for retraction of the article and to create a website refuting it. Also, a 2011 paper entitled Theory of the Origin, Evolution, and Nature of Life was published in the MDPI journal, Life. This article caused a major stir in the scientific community, documented in this blog post. I wrote a blog post in May, 2013 (as did other writers) describing a questionable article about the chemical glyphosate published in the MDPI journal Entropy. It’s likely that controversial articles like these will continue to be accepted in MDPI journals, possibly staining by association other articles that appear in the same journals. 4. Some believe the publisher is mainly set up to exploit and profit the need for scholars in China to get “international” publications. According to a recent report, Lin’s MDPI headquarters in Switzerland has only about a half dozen of employees, but its branches in China, Beijing and Wuhan, have more than 100 people. The fact alone indicates the importance of China’s market to Lin’s business. As a matter of fact, China is the perfect place for open access publishing in general, and for Lin’s MDPI in particular. Ever since late 1980s, initiated by Nanjing University, publication in “international journals,” which generally mean journals either published outside of China or in English, or both, has become a necessary requirement for a member of Chinese academic community to be promoted. 5. The report also reveals an email exchange involving MDPI owner Shu-Kun Lin in which Lin offered the editorship of one of his many journals to a Chinese scholar, promising the scholar that “It does need an editor to do a lot of work, however I won’t bother you to do anything.” The new editor responds, “It is very good that I don’t need to work to be an editor. I like being lazy.” 6. I am aware that some of the MDPI journals have impact factors and are indexed by reputable abstracting and indexing services, and that the publisher has purchased a COPE (Committee on Publishing Ethics) membership. However, the criteria I use differ from others. Also, regularly publishing controversial articles may be an MDPI strategy designed to increase its journals’ impact factors, for these articles are later cited in repudiation articles in legitimate journals. For authors that don’t care about science but only want to get publications in IF journals, MDPI is a fine venue. 7. The company calls itself an “Institute.” However, it’s not an institute in any true sense of the word. In my opinion, MDPI is not the kind of scholarly publisher we need or want for the future of scholarly communication. Just because it is open-access doesn’t mean it’s legitimate. I think MDPI’s warehouse journals contain hundreds of lightly-reviewed articles that are mainly written and published for promotion and tenure purposes rather than to communicate science. The publisher’s owner, Shu-Kun Lin, is himself becoming increasingly well-known and controversial, and he and MDPI have become inseparable in the minds of many. A scholarly publisher whose identity is closely tied to its owner’s increasingly-controversial image is harmful to the communication of science. I think it’s fair to classify MDPI as a questionable publisher, and as such, it belongs on my list. I recommend that all scholars not submit papers to this publisher. In the long run, publishing a paper with MDPI will turn out to be a bad personal decision for most authors.
精确量化……小数点后,牛 徐守盛:湖南加快全面建成小康社会的调查与思考 2013年12月19日09:50 党的十八大吹响了全面建成小康社会的进军号角。怎样结合湖南实际,以党的十八大和十八届三中全会精神为指导,全面深化改革,加快全面建成小康社会,确保在中部地区率先实现全面小康?怎样在全省上下凝聚全面建成小康社会的强大力量?怎样引导全省各地结合实际稳增长、调结构、促改革、抓落实,把全面小康步子迈得更稳一点、更大一点、更快一点,把质量搞得更高一点?这些是我反复思考的问题。没有调查就没有发言权,更没有决策权。今年以来,带着这些问题,我先后到了长沙、衡阳、株洲、邵阳、益阳、怀化等地,深入企业、农村、社区、项目工地,与基层干部群众拉家常、聊发展、找办法、问计策。 分类指导:全面建成小康社会的基本方法 全面建成小康社会是现阶段全党的奋斗目标,也是湖南人民的殷切期盼。按照党的十八大提出的要求,现在距离全面建成小康只有7年时间了。按照国家统计局监测全面小康6大类23项指标测算,2012年湖南全面小康实现程度达到了85.9%,但发展很不平衡:一方面,全面小康内部各大指标实现程度不平衡,社会和谐、民主法治等指标实现程度较高,分别达到96.7%、96.6%;经济发展指标实现程度只有71.3%,发展不充分、不全面、不持续的问题突出,与全国差距较大。全省GDP、固定资产投资、社会消费品零售总额、财政收入的人均水平,分别只相当于全国的87.1%、81.5%、76.2%和47.3%;城镇化率比全国低5.9个百分点;城乡居民收入分别比全国低3264元、477元;财政收入占GDP比重、税收占财政收入比重偏低,都排中部倒数第2位;万元GDP能耗高于全国平均水平。另一方面,省内区域实现程度不平衡,长株潭地区达到了93.3%,大湘西地区只有74.1%,还有近40个贫困县不到70%,全省最低的新化县只有61.3%;城乡居民收入相差2.9倍,人均GDP最高的长沙市是最低的邵阳市的6.2倍。虽然总体实现程度较高,但质量、水平并不高。全面建成小康社会,时间紧迫,任务繁重。 blabla………… ———————————————————————————————————————— 南风点评:社会和谐、民主法治等指标实现程度较高,分别达到96.7%、96.6%;—— 这应该给“优秀”吧,A+
长江重庆段船舶航行因泥沙淤积受阻 http://tieba.baidu.com/mo/q/checkurl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chinanews.com%2Fshipin%2F2011%2F07-08%2Fnews41302.html&urlrefer=65af6bf5e6c25181e831417359c59449 长江重庆段船舶航行因泥沙淤积受阻 2011年07月08日 10:02 来源:中国新闻网 本视频内容版权属中国新闻网,未经书面授权任何网站与个人不得转载使用   7月7日上午11时,三峡库区黄花城水域的滥泥湾河段平均泥沙淤积高度达到33.5米,刷新了三峡库区泥沙淤积高度,同时也给长江流域重庆段的船舶航行造成了一定的影响。   7日上午,记者在长江流域滥泥湾河段看到,整片水域呈现土黄色,河水浑浊,有明显的泥浆上泛情况。长江重庆航道局工作人员告诉记者,三峡库区整体的泥沙淤积量少于预期值,但是局部河段淤泥量惊人,滥泥湾成为三峡库区淤积最为严重的河段,河道水深仅为3.5米,而国家通航标准尺度为5米。   (长江重庆航道处副处长 闻光华 :这个位置是叫滥泥湾,淤积量,我们初步估算大约3500万立方米,淤积最高的位置已经差不多145米了,已经把整个航道封堵掉了。成因主要是这个三峡蓄水之后,水位提高之后,流速减缓了,没有什么流速了,流速一减缓,泥沙就落淤。)   据航道局工作人员观测,预计7月7日至8日长江流域忠县段将有入汛以来首次较大洪峰过境,而这将给三峡库区本就淤泥严重的局部河段雪上加霜。   (长江重庆航道处副处长 闻光华 :这个地方越是涨洪峰,泥沙越是往这里淤积,今年据我们现场航道维护班组的同志观测,上一次涨洪峰的时候,现在又增加了一米多的高程,那么这次洪峰来了之后,我估计也不会小于一米,所以这个速度的淤积是非常之惊人的。)   据航道维护班组的工作人员介绍,三峡库区泥沙淤积量的变化目前正处于严密观测之中,疏浚工作也在紧张进行,目前已从荷兰调用大型疏浚船舶,加大三峡库区疏浚力度。   记者:曹多然 何鹏见习记者:李思洁
三峡库区将产生大量新生滑坡和塌岸 近10万人面临搬迁 三峡库区将产生大量新生滑坡和塌岸 近10万人面临搬迁 2012年04月17日 00:34 来源:中国广播网 据中国之声《全国新闻联播》报道,2009年以来,三峡工程已经进行了3次175米试验性蓄水,据国内外水库建设的普遍规律,新建水库蓄水后至高水位初期3到5年内将集中产生大量的新生滑坡和塌岸,地质灾害防治形势非常严峻,大约10万人将面临搬迁。 国土资源部地质环境司巡视员、三峡库区地质灾害防治工作领导小组办公室主任柳源介绍说,三峡库区每年都会发生多起崩塌滑坡,由于监测到位、预警及时,三峡库区已连续9年实现地质灾害零伤亡,但未来一段时间,三峡库区地质灾害防治形势不容乐观。 柳源:175米试验性蓄水以来,发生的地质灾害灾(险)情超过70%为突发性地质灾害;部分地质灾害监测预警点受水库水位升降影响出现灾(险)情,且有逐渐增多趋势,需要及时采取工程处理或搬迁避让措施。一些位于库区沿岸的滑坡和塌岸,即使灾害体上没有人员和房屋,但涌浪灾害的危险性对长江航道构成严重威胁。 柳源表示,今后一段时间,国土资源部将配合湖北省、重庆市做好各项防治任务的实施。 柳源:开展355处滑坡崩塌危岩体工程治理。对现有的5386处隐患点实施群测群防,其中对182个隐患点,影响比较大的实行专业监测。除此之外,还要对一些需要进行搬迁避让的人员实行搬迁,大约涉及10万人左右。
