New web page on predatory publishing
The phenomena of predatory journals and conferences undermine the credibility of scientific research and can negatively impact the reputation and visibility of individual researchers. Young, inexperienced researchers are a target audience for predatory publishers, but even experienced researchers have been affected by predatory publishing.
Journals and publishers that are acting in a grey area are even more problematic to unambiguously identify, and MDPI and Frontiers are publishers that have been in the spotlight in this regard. The website provides information about what characterizes predatory journals, about hijacked or cloned journals, about blacklists and whitelists, and about tools to help evaluate and quality check journals and conferences.
