Title: “Predatory Publishers: The Zombies of the Publishing World”
Brief Abstract
Predatory journals publish your work at immense cost both in monetary terms to the author and to their career. This webinar will discuss the tactics used by predatory publishers and the outcomes of predatory publishing on the articles, editorials, and your h-index. This presentation will provide a definition, the identification of predatory journals such as how to recognise a predatory publisher and some of the actions you can take to avoid predatory publishers.
Predatory journals charge fees to publish and do not provide editing or other services associated with robust and respected journals in a field or area of research or professional practice. Predatory journals do not follow academic standards and therefore will publish work that is unsound and not peer reviewed.
This webinar will provide some helpful hints on how to recognise a predatory publisher and the role of robust publications in advancing evidence-based practice in health care.
