Guide to avoiding 'predatory' journals

Dear Moderator, Below message I found in : https://www.authoraid.info/en/news/details/1310/ I hope this will be of help to someone in the group. Forwarded Message: A beginner’s guide to avoiding ‘predatory’ journals (using your critical thinking skills) [image: article thumbnail image] By Andy Nobes | July 24, 2018 | You may have heard a lot about the dangers of so-called ‘predatory’[1] <https://www.authoraid.info/en/news/details/1310/#_ftn1> journals from your colleagues, your supervisor, or in online forums and webpages. Such journals often charge a fee for fast publication but have poor publishing practices, fail to carry out legitimate peer review, and fake their inclusion in important indexes. You should avoid publishing your research in these journals, or you could risk ruining your reputation or career. But there is often unclear and conflicting advice on how to tell a credible journal from a ‘predatory’ one, even from experienced researchers and supervisors. At AuthorAID we recommend that researchers use their own critical analysis skills and decide for themselves whether a journal is appropriate for their research. It’s extremely important for researchers to choose a reputable, reliable journal that provides rigorous peer review and disseminates their research to a wide audience; and that they can be confident and proud of listing this on their CV. One good resource you can use for this purpose is the Think.Check.Submit <https://thinkchecksubmit.org/>. website which provides a straightforward checklist to identify trustworthy journals (we recommend that you evaluate journals using several checks from the checklist rather than relying on just one indicator). Some researchers may be told to use journal ‘blacklists’, but you should exercise caution. We do not recommend using the ‘Beall’s List’ blacklist to identify ‘predatory’ journals as it is not considered a reliable, unbiased, or transparent source of information, and has not been updated by Beall since January 2017.[2] <https://www.authoraid.info/en/news/details/1310/#_ftn2> Below we have also provided some practical tips and advice for early career researchers who are unfamiliar with the online publishing landscape. They are based on the AuthorAID team’s experience with helping members over the last few years, trawling through all sorts of interesting and unusual journal websites. If you can familiarise yourself with what good and bad digital publishing looks like, you should be able to tell quite quickly whether a journal is suitable for your research, or whether you should stay well clear (and also warn your colleagues to do likewise). *1. Don’t trust email invites and ‘Call for Papers’ (unless you recognise the sender)*[image: graph example] Make sure you do some background research before handing over your payment details to an unknown journal This is the simplest and most effective step to avoid ‘predatory’ journals. One of the most common questions we are asked on AuthorAID <http://forums.authoraid.info/> is ‘Is ‘X’ a predatory journal?’. The reason why the questioner is asking about a specific journal is probably because they have just received a flattering spam email inviting them to submit a paper for fast and easy publication, and this can be very tempting for some people, as this researcher reported in a recent survey of authors who have published in 'predatory' journals <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/leap.1150>: “I received an invitation. They wanted my paper and that made me feel good. I thought that they contacted me because of my expertise in my field, and so I sent it.” Be careful – ‘predatory’ publishers trawl the internet for authors’ and academics’ email addresses and send out thousands of emails every day – and it’s a tactic that works very effectively. *NEVER* respond to emails from journals or journal publishers unless you recognise the sender or have registered for their mailing list. If you are tempted by an email offer or ‘Call for Papers’ *always* visit their website to find out more about the journal – we will cover this in the next steps. Please also remember that *you don't necessarily need to pay to publish your work in a journal*. There are plenty of free publishing options (see ‘how do I find a suitable journal and how can I afford the publishing fees?’). <https://www.authoraid.info/en/news/details/1106/> You should certainly not be paying a journal to publish your paper unless they can demonstrate good digital publishing practices, quality editorial processes and suitable indexing. Be careful before parting with your hard-earned money! *2. Be sceptical of ‘international’ or ‘global’ journals, and those with a wide scope* This rule may also seem very simple, but you can often tell a deceptive journal from its title. ‘Predatory’ publishers are looking to ‘prey’ on early career researchers who have been told that their ultimate goal is to get published in ‘international’ journals (which is a usually a big achievement), and such journals provide a *very quick and cheap* opportunity. If this sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Try to follow these two rules: 1. If the journal name has the word ‘international’, ‘world’ or ‘global’ in the title be *sceptical. *Most ‘predatory’ journals use impressive titles like this to fool uncritical researchers. If a journal uses such a title it should be able to demonstrate this. Does it have a trulyinternational editorial board? Is the journal included in international indexes? Do you recognise any of the editors? (You may also want to check the editor’s official webpage to see if he/she mentions their role with the journal – as mentioned here <http://blog.inasp.info/helping-researchers-distinguish-credible-journals/> .) 2. If the title has an extremely wide subject scope, for example, ‘International Journal of Advanced Research’, ‘Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities’, or ‘International Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences’, *be* *sceptical*. Most ‘normal’ academic journals are actually quite niche, both in terms of subject focus and geography. Be aware that ‘predatory’ publishers create journals with a very wide scope to target as many potential authors as possible. For some more examples of dubiously-named journals, see this blog post <http://journalologik.uk/?p=132>. *3. Double-check claims of prestigious indexing and impact factors*[image: graph example] Don't believe everything you read on the internet Does the journal say it’s listed in prestigious indexes? Does it claim to have an Impact Factor? Be wary – ‘predatory’ journals usually lie about their indexing status, using fake logos and fake impact factors. The good news is that you can easily check this information yourself! Does the journal really have an Impact Factor? You can check that this is true by searching for the journal on the Clarivate Web of Science database: *http://mjl.clarivate.com/* <http://mjl.clarivate.com/>. If the journal is not listed, *then it does not have a real Impact Factor*, and the ‘impact factor’ being advertised is probably fake or irrelevant. (Please note that many legitimate journals are not indexed in the Web of Science, and Impact Factor is a limited metric that measures citations and not necessarily quality of research – for more information see the Wikipedia page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_factor> on Impact Factors and how to target a suitable journal <https://www.scidev.net/global/publishing/practical-guide/target-journal-rig…> ). *Scopus* Does your journal claim to be indexed on Scopus (another reputable index owned by Elsevier)? You can check to see if it is listed here: http://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php. You can also find lots of other interesting metrics on the journal, if it is listed. *PubMed* Lots of medical journals claim to be indexed in PubMed. You can check the database here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/. Lots of journals are catalogued in PubMed, but not all have passed the quality criteria for indexation, so make sure the information page clearly says "*In:* PubMed" or "*In:* Index medicus" or "*In:* MEDLINE". The best journals will probably have all three (MEDLINE uses the most stringent indexing criteria). Journals that have not been officially catalogued will show as: "Collection Status: Not in the NLM Collection". *The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)* provides a listing of Open Access journals that have passed its basic entry criteria: https://doaj.org/search. This is a good database to find legitimate Open Access journals from all over the world, many of which do not charge a publishing fee (see here for more information on article processing fees <https://www.authoraid.info/en/news/details/1106/>). Please note that just because journals are not included in any of the above indexes does not mean they are ‘predatory’ or not credible. It can be a major challenge and take many years for new and small journals to be accepted by these indexes. The big problem is journals that *deceptively claim* to be indexed even though they are not. *4. Read the ‘Aims and scope’ or ‘About’ page – check the journal understands your field* There are several ways you can check the expertise of the journal editorial staff. As Think.Check.Submit <https://thinkchecksubmit.org/check/> mentions, it’s useful to check the editorial board for familiar names. Another way is to critically read the ‘Aims and scope’ or ‘About the journal’ pages. I like to check this page because you can tell a lot about the publisher and the journal, and bad journals are easy to spot because they tend to write nonsense in this section. This is where the journal should provide a brief introduction to the publication, an outline of the type of articles published (and sometimes what it doesn't publish), its peer review policy, and sometimes the journal’s indexing information. This page should make you feel confident about the scholarly credibility of the publisher and authority of the journal in your subject discipline. The page shouldn’t contain factual errors or spelling mistakes (within reason - some human error is inevitable). The aims and objectives of the journal should be clear, and you should easily be able to tell if your work is suitable for this journal. Bad journals stand out because they fake their credibility and knowledge of the subject areas. They write vague statements or flowery language like: ‘an opportunity to share research amongst the global community’. You may also find that some journals have copied and pasted (plagiarised) information from Wikipedia or other webpages to make it sound like they understand your field – *try it out:*copy and paste the opening sentence into Google and check it’s not plagiarised! *5. Check who is publishing the journal – are they a credible scholarly organisation?* This is a surprisingly easy way to tell if a journal is legitimate or not, because it reveals why the journal is being published. ‘Predatory’ journals are concerned with making money from author payments – they don’t care about the quality of the science being published. Look at the website and try to find out: a) Who is the publisher? (i.e. which organisation is responsible for running this journal?) Is their name familiar? Do a quick Google search and try to find out more information about them. Sometimes a physical address is given which is clearly residential, or in the middle of a field. I've discovered a few 'UK' publishers who provide a 'virtual' forwarding address in london as their headquarters. If the publisher is unfamiliar, or you are unable to tell if they are legitimate or not, then the next step is to ask: b) Is there a scholarly organisation aligned or affiliated with the journal, such as a university, a research institute or a learned society? Do they seem like a genuine organisation? Ideally you should have heard of them. If the answer to both of the above questions is ‘No’, then you should consider looking elsewhere. *6. Check your reference lists – familiarise yourself with good journals in your field*[image: graph example] Reference lists are a good place to look for credible journals Last, but certainly not least, the best way to ensure you don’t get fooled, is to ‘future-proof’ yourself by getting familiar with what good journals look and feel like. As AuthorAID mentor Sian Harris suggests, the easiest place to start looking for suitable journals is by looking at the journals you are reading and referencing in your work <http://www.authoraid.info/en/news/details/1153/>. Similarly, AuthorAID community member Maria Zinger shares her own learning: “From what I have been taught from many trainings on publication of an article, the first thing you do after you think you have a research question is to do a literature review where you read all the literature important to answer your question of interest ... It means that once you finish your research and article writing you are going to select at least the top three journal names that have come up during your literature review. It is very difficult to ask other people to do this for you because you know your work better than anyone else.” Follow your references and recommended reading in articles you like. Have you done any literature reviews for your research? Go back and check out the journals that were mentioned – these are the journals you should be targeting, whether they be small, regional, niche journals or high-impact international journals. Visit their journal webpages to get an idea of their scope and style. Ultimately, it’s your decision where to publish your research, so take some time to make sure it's being reliably published and shared as widely as possible amongst your target audience. But be careful not to be swayed by flattering emails, impressive-sounding journal names, fancy impact factors, or too-good-to-be-true offers without doing your research first! Do you have any of your own tips, or experiences that you would like to share?

Dear Moderator,Please include my feelings about Prof Deshpande in LIS Forum. Thanking you.RegardsSatya SavanurSad demise of Prof. K. S. Deshpande has left us in a state of shock. I used to meet him whenever I was in Dharwad. He made everyone feel that he/she was his favorite student . With his magnetic personality, cordial voice and deep understanding, he was a great role model. Besides being a great librarian, he was a sincere and silent social worker. He was closely associated with UGC, Gandhi Peace Foundation, Family Planning Association of India, Bharat Scouts and Guides and served on many Committees.  He always used Khadi: He was a true Gandhian in spirit and action.  We miss you, Sir.

Re. Sad Demise of Prof K S Deshapande - A kegendary personality It is extremely sad and shocking news! Prof. K. S. Deshpande was one the most sought after teachers in KUD during my student days. I distinctly remember, we used to skip other teachers' lectures to attend his talks. He was the architect of KUD Library and had rendered his knowledge to build and develop many academic libraries and LIS departments in the country. Prof. KSD was a very simple, down to earth, humble with an everlasting iconic smile on his face which clearly exhibited his great personality. He was one of those rare teachers whose English was impeccable and showed remarkable insight on many topics. The LIS profession in the country has lost one of the most admired Gurus! His life story is certainly inspirational and deserves to be a part of LIS curriculam. I pray almighty to give enough strength to his family members, relatives and friends to bear this irreplacable loss. May his soul rest in peace.
