Zoom seminar on Predatory publishing
Predatory journals are a common scourge in academia, independent of discipline. It can be hard to differentiate between real offers from journals and those made by scammers.
Sebastian Gabrielsson, senior lecturer at Luleå University of Technology, has researched the prevalence of Swedish author’s publishing in predatory nursing journals and written articles about his finding. The library has invited Sebastian to share his findings and to give you the tools to avoid scamming journals in the future. The seminar will be held in English and is organized by the library.
The aim of the seminar is to give you as a researcher better knowledge about how you are affected by predatory journals and to give you the tools needed to identify and avoid these scams.
Time: Wednesday 29/9, 08:30-09:45
