What should journals do in the wake of predatory journals?

Saturday, 9 September 2017

Can you trust what you read? Can you trust where you read it?

We are pleased to announce a workshop focusing on potentially illegitimate and predatory publications. This workshop will present evidence-based criteria for distinguishing illegitimate predatory publications and will discuss journal standards, legitimacy, and transparency.
