The pressure to publish is ever-present for researchers and academics, and accompanying this has been a rise in 'predatory journals'. These can exploit and target anyone from a first-time author to pay to publish, to seasoned academics to exploit their reputation. They can use small tricks like using similar names or almost identical branding to give an impression of legitimacy.

This session will go through the practical ways you can tell the difference, and warning signs to look out for when choosing which journal to submit your hard work to.
