A January 2017 article in University Affairs wrote “Beware! Academics are getting reeled in scam journalsâ€. The article highlighted some of the common fears and concerns surrounding publishing in today’s academic landscape.
This leads many graduate students and faculty to wonder: how can you tell what’s a credible publication or conference? Is this a legitimate solicitation to publish my thesis or a scam? This 60-minute session will discuss predatory publishing, how to identify a legitimate publisher, what resources are available to help researchers on-campus as well as the common myths and perceptions surrounding Open Access.
