Social media and the rise of predatory journals: A case report
Authors: Adriana Rocha, Petal Smart
Abstract
This is a report of our experience with a predatory journal that invited us to join them after having seen our winning essays on how to identify predatory journals.
We applied the system we recommended therein to investigate the true nature of the journal and in so doing, provide readers a model of how to go through such an investigation. We also reflect on the extensive role of social media, ranging from helping these publications to target prospective authors with ease to increasing awareness and educational initiatives among researchers, publishers, and academic institutions.
