predatory publishing; predatory journals; research ethics; reserarch integrity; bibliodiversity
Abstract :
[en] The panel on predatory practices focused on three case questions: 1. How should we assess and advise researchers on publishing with publishers like MDPI: Is it a predatory publisher or a legitimate open-access option? 2. How can we avoid discriminating against less well-known publishers and ensure bibliodiversity, while maintaining the integrity of scholarly communication? 3. Are special issues of journals and books becoming targets for predatory publishing, and how can we safeguard their quality and credibility in academic research?
