Tech Tuesday - Predatory Journals and Publishers

Abstract

Recording of Tech Tuesday session originally presented Tuesday, July 21 2020. Presenter: Michelle Demetres, Samuel J. Wood Library. Predatory journals or publishers have taken advantage of the pay-to-publish model, scamming authors out of publishing fees, and publishing articles with little to no peer review. In this session, we'll help define what it means to be "predatory," as well as introduce critical appraisal "red flags" so you can identify and avoid these publishing outlets.
