Predatory Publishers, Journals and Conferences: How to Spot Them Online

“Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritise self-interest at the expense of scholarship and are characterised by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices.” (Grudniewicz et al, 2019).

Predatory practices are a threat to academic knowledge dissemination, so it is important to be able to recognise and evaluate a spectrum of practices.

By the end of this session, participants will be better able to:

  • Define predatory publishers, journals and conferences
  • Describe a spectrum of low-risk to high-risk practices
  • Evaluate a real example of a solicitation email from a publisher
  • Locate and discuss useful checklists to use when considering submitting to a journal, publisher or conference
  • Discuss associated risks
  • Identify where to get further support
