“Predatory Journals”: How to Avoid the Shams and Scams

Friday, October 6th, 11:00am-12:00pm

https://gc-cuny.libcal.com/event/11325974

As a researcher, you are eager to publish your work. But don’t let your eagerness allow you to be fooled by fake (often called “predatory”) journals. These low-quality outlets exist for the sole purpose of profit, not for the dissemination of peer-reviewed research. Indeed, they frequently lie about their peer review practices and engage in other forms of deceit. Come learn how to spot these bad actors, and how to critically evaluate any journal before submitting a paper. This workshop will also touch on “predatory” conferences and book publishers.

 

Additional Updates:

 

As always, the Mina Rees Library encourages everyone to submit InterLibrary Loan (ILL) requests! ILL is an excellent way to obtain materials beyond the Graduate Center Library, in the form of print books, electronic articles/Ebook chapters, DVD’s, microfilm and more. Find out more about ILL here:
