<div dir="ltr">Keen readers of LOL and upholders of scholarly good practice may recall that I took the Scopus database to task earlier this year for indexing the egregious Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Science. You can read that posting here. Well after quite an amount of twitter action Scopus fessed up that this was a mistake and duly ceased their coverage of this piece of nonsense, although 3,807 records from AJBAS continue to dilute their database and cast doubt on their bibliometric credibility. I followed this up with another posting pointing out that Scopus was still indexing 11 titles from Jeffrey Beall’s Predatory Publishers List, but at least there was some indication from Scopus that they wanted to get their act together.<div>
