Predatory publications and predatory conferences deceive researchers to hand over fees but do not offer quality service in return. This webinar provides practical advice on how to recognize deceitful practices and how to make informed decisions on where to submit your manuscript and which conference to choose, based on advice provided by Think.Check.Submit and Think.Check.Attend initiatives.
