Separating Predatory Publishers from Reputable Journals - ECS

"While predatory publishers may cloud the waters of dissemination, The Scientist offers a few steps to help researchers decided where to publish and if they should join an editorial board. Check out their advice.

Additionally, the cross-industry initiative called Think. Check. Submit helps authors choose a trusted journal and provides easy steps to follow when examining the credibility of a publication.

As ECS moves forward with its Free the Science initiative – eliminating publication fees for readers and authors by 2024 – the Society remains committed to implementing the rigorous peer review process that has been the backbone of ECS publications throughout the Society’s history."
