Symposium: Fighting the fakes: Combatting predatory publishers at every level of research and scholarship
Abstract
Avoiding predatory journals is easy yet, academics do publish in them. Strategies range from common sense through to checking journal websites and the Directory of Open Access Journals. Universities should be prepared to provide more training about publication policies and to sanction academics who do use predatory publishers.
