Predatory Publishing: What You Don't Know, Can Hurt You!
Channel: Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library
Date: 2017-03-30

Predatory publishing is a growing problem for faculty, researchers, and librarians. Predatory publishers may appear legitimate at first glance, promising quick peer review and name recognition, but in fact have little or no editorial control or peer review, and ultimately, no benefit for you as a researcher. This informational session will discuss techniques that predatory publishers use to target faculty and students looking to get published, and what you can do if you are solicited by a questionable publisher. Presented by Dr. Tamara Ritsema, SMHS Dept. of Physician Assistant Studies, and Ruth Bueter, Himmelfarb Serials & Systems Librarian.

This presentation was delivered on March 29, 2017, as the second lecture in the Himmelfarb Library series, Updates in Scholarly Communication: Publishing, Impact, and Visibility.
