Hello:

If there is enough interest in learning how to spot a predatory journal (it can be really hard!), I would be willing to put together a free webinar on this topic.  If you are interested please contact me off-list at: i...@greenheroninfo.com

Please let me know if you have any questions and hope everyone has a great week!

Best Regards,

"To reduce the supply of papers flowing to predatory journals, we need to do a better job of educating trainees and faculty members about how to assess a journal's integrity. We need incentives and resources that will prevent scientists from sending real work to places that will not identify flaws or truly contribute to the scholarly literature. Several global funders have mandated open-access publishing. However, without guidance in selecting journals responsibly, this problem of irresponsible publishing is likely to increase. Science and society would be better off if we stopped the waste by cutting off the supply."
