For those of you ever wondering about all those manuscript submission requests that fill up you inbox, I thought you might be interested in a short article I recently wrote on the topic of predatory journals.
I had an interesting time monitoring all the emails I received for over two months and then carefully looking through them to figure out if the journals and publishers were legitimate or not. Some interesting patterns emerged. The article was published in the Botanical Society of America’s Plant Science Bulletin. It is available at: https://culleylab.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/culley_2018_predatorypublishing.pdf or on the PSB website at: https://cms.botany.org/home/publications/plant-science-bulletin.html (or you can always email me for a copy).
