Librarian Jeffrey Beall maintains a list of possible or likely predatory open-access journals here. Now in version 0.8.9.5, Lazy Scholar checks to see if the page you are on matches one of the journals on that list. If there is a match, you will receive a warning on the bottom right hand side of the page that looks like this:

Also in this version are some small bug fixes:

  • LS icon in the infobar enlarged
  • Sizing adjusted for smaller screens
  • JournalGuide url change fix

[Version 0.8.9.7-9 include bug fixes for when LS caught some non-journal pages]
