Choosing a Credible Journal and How to Avoid 'Predatory Publishers' (on campus)
Thu 10 Apr 2025, 11:00 - 12:00 BST (GMT+1)
This workshop will equip you with the skills to spot so-called 'Predatory Publishers', and feel confident in the credibility of the journals you will be submitting to. By the end of the session you will be able to:
- Feel confident in your ability to identify credible journals
- Understand the motivations behind 'Predatory Publishing'
- Understand the consequences of submitting your work to non-reputable journals
- Spot the common characteristics of non-reputable publishers
- Use established tools and processes to check the credibility of a journal
As part of this workshop we will be running an activity where a personal device (mobile phone, laptop, tablet etc.) would be useful but is not essential.
This session will take place on campus.
