Avoiding Predators in Publishing - Eos

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-06-20

Summary:

"Distinguishing opportunities associated with legitimate journals or conferences from unprincipled come-ons can be a challenge. Although hallmarks of predatory publishers include actively soliciting papers and promising rapid publication, many mainstream publishers, such as the American Geophysical Union (AGU), do the same. Whereas illicit journals often offer low publication costs, some high-quality, open access journals similarly offer free submissions to authors, thanks to support from foundations or institutions. So how do you separate bona fide solicitations for journal articles, book proposals, or conference papers from those that are not? In addition to carrying out your own search about a publisher to assess factors such as quality, discoverability, and indexing, here are some other suggestions."
