Special Message on Predatory Journals
Journals that publish research without proper peer review, and often charge high publication fees, sadly cheapen your intellectual work. They often list fake scholars on their editorial board, give false information about their publishing operation, and provide misleading impact factor information. Predatory journals often prey on young scholars launching their academic careers. Please be aware and do not get duped into publishing in one.
