Have you received soliciting emails inviting you to publish with an unfamiliar journal or to present at an unheard-of conference venue? These might be predatory phishing emails. If you participate, they will not only con you out of your money but will also harm your scholarly profile. It is not a laughing matter!

To outsmart these predatory publishers, join this workshop. We will: discuss methods and provide a checklist to help you recognize predatory journals, publishers, or conferences; and provide solutions to avoid them. The session will also discuss why predators succeed and why there is no way to stop them other than raising awareness and changing the paradigm.
