Should "universities are filling up with people" be "universities are filled up with people"?
Context:
The most basic obligation of a scientific journal is to perform peer review, arXiv
founder Ginsparg says. He laments that a large proportion of open-access scientific
publishers "clearly are not doing that." Ensuring that journals honor their obligation
is a challenge that the scientific community must rise to. "Journals without quality
control are destructive, especially for developing world countries where
governments and universities are filling up with people with bogus scientific
credentials," Ginsparg says.
