It is estimated that the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) paid 100–300 million rands in academic subsidies for articles published in predatory journals for more than a decade.[1]
DHET pays a university about R100,000 for each qualifying academic article, which has to be published in a journal accredited by the DHET
Summary
In January 2015, he compiled a list of “Criteria for Determining Predatory Open-Access Publishers”. They estimated that the journals they identified as predatory (using Beall’s list and criteria) had increased their output from about 53 000 articles in 2010 to an estimated 420 000 in 2014. Authors paid an average “article processing charge” of US$178 per article typically published within 2 to 3 months of submission.
