I'm excited to announce the publication of my latest research, "Measures to Protect Ethical Publications Getting Trapped Under Unethical Practices: Preying by Predatory Journals," in Springer's prestigious International Handbook of Skill, Education, Learning, and Research Development in Tourism and Hospitality.
In today's academic landscape, the pressure to "publish or perish" has never been greater. Unfortunately, this pressure has given rise to a troubling phenomenon: predatory journals. These publications prioritize profit over academic integrity, often at the expense of rigorous peer review and ethical standards.
My study, now available in this Scopus-indexed handbook, delves deep into this critical issue. Here are some key points we explore:
- The proliferation of predatory journals and their impact on academic integrity
- How to identify misleading impact factors and false indexing claims
- The role of Article Processing Charges (APCs) in the predatory publishing model
- Practical guidance for researchers to identify reputable publication venues
- Recommendations for regulatory bodies to curb unethical publishing practices
As researchers, we have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. This study aims to equip scholars with the knowledge and tools to navigate the complex world of academic publishing safely and ethically.
I invite you to read the full chapter and join the conversation about protecting the integrity of academic publications. Together, we can work towards a more transparent and ethical publishing landscape.
