Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.

Hi Mike
While Beall's list is indeed useful at uncovering particularly bad practice, it should not be viewed as the "be-all" and end all.
Similarly, with any other blacklist, whitelist, retraction list and journal quality list, these are more useful when they are used as one of many indicator's. The same could be said for publication metrics too (e.g. Citations, RCI, SNIP, SJR, etc.).

I agree. A suite of indicators is much better than relying on an individual measure.
I refer to Beall's site quite often - I also like retraction watch.
Cheers
