Signs of a Predatory Publisher...

  • Editors or editorial board members with no or fake academic affiliations
  • Lack of clarity about fees
  • Publisher names and journal titles with geographic terms that have no connection to the publisher’s physical location or journal’s geographic scope
  • Bogus impact factor claims and invented metrics
  • False claims about where the journal is indexed
