Came across an insightful paper yesterday. Its conclusion had multiple impactful takeaways, and the generalizability needs more exploration. It inspired me to write a commentary, but the paper’s publication in a #predatoryJournal stopped me—Always be cautious where you publish! #AcademicIntegrity

We talk a lot about predatory journals, but I just encountered my first PREDATORY PODCAST!🚨 www.scipod.global
They reach out, set up a meeting, then—when you ask about their economic model—you realize they want £1000 for a 10-min recorded podcast. That’s here you run away.

Not even bothering to write full sentences is a new level of laziness, even for a predatory journal. I'm wondering if anyone actually falls for this?

Just like the infamous “Nigerian prince” scam, #PredatoryJournal solicitation emails count on quantity, because it only takes a few unsuspecting researchers to fall for the trap.

Anatomy of a Predatory Journal Email (Part 1)
I once attended a financial crime research conference and, at the gala dinner, found myself sitting next to the lead investigator in cybercrime from Nigeria. It was fascinating to hear some of the stories he had to share, including instances of tracking down the people who sent those seemingly now extinct emails purporting to be from some African prince who wanted to put $15 million in your account temporarily while they sorted some issues out.

starting with revamping my #predatoryjournal talk and i'm curious - any #medlibs that want to share if and how their organisation deals with these journals? do you use blacklists or check where your researchers publish?

#predatoryjournal is a complex issue. I consider that we should focus on two things: 1. Support researchers before they submit a Paper, 2. Reform #researchassessment
I'm against generalizations in this subject.
