“What’s up with predatory journals? Red flags and gray areas” by Anna Craft, January 23rd at 12pm **45 minute webinar
“Predatory,” “deceptive,” “fraudulent,” “sham,” “illegitimate”–there are many different terms used to describe academic journals that operate under questionable business practices. And unfortunately, when evaluating publication venues, there are also many different practices and characteristics that can be red flags. UNCG librarians can help you find reputable journals to publish in and can assist in identifying journals to avoid. This session will discuss predatory and unethical academic publishing practices, offer methods and resources to help evaluate the quality of online journals, and show examples of red flags related to journal practices and quality.
