There are currently approximately 28,000 journals publishing 1.5 million papers annually. Although the majority of new journals are legitimate, the credentials of some are questionable. Such journals and publishers are referred to as 'predatory'. They commonly send spam emails to potential authors, solicit submissions and request payment of article processing charges, but lack academic rigour or credibility. This presentation will look at examples of publishers, publications and provide practical tips to identify and avoid predatory publishers.

Predatory publishing: pitfalls for the unwary. 25 Oct 2013Simon Huggard
Presentation given at the Library Research Forum, La Trobe University, 25 October 2013. Discusses issues with predatory publishers and what to check. Discusses open access publishing in an institutional digital repository
What is meant by ‘predatory publisher’? Who is preyed on and by whom? What are the consequences of this publishing phenomenon? The Director of the US ISSN Center will draw on the experience of the ISSN Network and National Library of Medicine (NLM) to explore these issues. Criteria for inclusion in NLM’s indexes and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), as well as criteria for denying or revoking an ISSN, will be outlined. Statistics on the ubiquity and longevity of these publications, their impact on ISSN and NLM, and the role of librarians will be discussed.
A presentation made to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s Office of Science & Engineering Laboratories on the current state of open access in the United States and how DOAJ is tackling issues of quality in open access publishing
Predatory Publishers are primarily publish online journals which have little or no academic legality.
They exist solely to make money for their owners, and they make that money by charging excessive “article processing fees”.
There is minimal to no peer-review of published articles, despite their claims.
The scholarship of these journals is not reliable.
They aggressively solicit new articles which they publish, for a price.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
The Journal Selection Process has four main components. We examine over all Publishing Standards, Editorial Content, International Diversity appropriate to the journal’s target audience, and Citation Analysis.
Under Publishing Standards > are basic features such as timeliness of publication ( All journals must be publishing on time at either the issue or article level), adherence to international editorial conventions, appropriate inclusion of English language content, and, of course, Peer Review. Peer Review is essential for all journals publishing original research.
We are always in search of novel Editorial Content > seeking to enrich subject coverage in Web of Science.
International Diversity > that is appropriate for the subject and the journal’s target audience is important. For journals publishing research targeted at the international scholarly community, we hope to see broad international diversity among the authors and editorial advisory board members. This requirement is modified accordingly for journals that target a regional or national audience.
Citation analysis > at the level of the journal or, in the case of brand new publications, at the level of contributing authors and editorial advisory board members, is key. There are many ways to check for importance and influence and Citation Impact is prominent among them. At the journal level we estimate Impact Factor and look at total citations. For contributing authors and editors we check citations to their prior work. We are building a citation index and seek to include those journals that participate in the discourse on a particular topic by way of citation exchange. Note also, that citation analysis is always done relative to the editorial context of the journal. Likewise, we do not compare the citation performance of a purely regional journal with an international journal in the same subject area. The more specific the context, the more useful are citation analyses.
All of these points are important to us. We cannot, for example, move forward with a journal that is unable to produce issues or post articles in a timely manner. We are reluctant to accept journals that publish more or less derivative studies or that report on a topic of international interest without adequate international representation of results. And we are less interested in journals that have relatively poor uptake in the surrounding literature by way of citation.
The MOST IMPORTANT thing we do that sets us apart from other tools is the fact that we index cited references
For a given article, we don’t just capture the title, authors’ names, and abstract we also capture the entire bibliography/works cited list,
References are:
Searchable and navigable you can easily move from one point in the literature to another to determine how highly cited a paper is and answer the question– “how has this paper influenced future research?”
In terms of coverage, our philosophy is to index the cream of the crop of scholarship:
Multidisciplinary–covers basic folklore to robotics.
International in scope: indexes journals published in over 45 languages
Influential– It is not our intention to index every single journal ever published in the world
we have a team of experts whose job it is to be constantly analyze and assess the literature to determine which publications are the most important in each field of research– which are the most influential, most cited journals
Dr Eugene Garfield, the founder of ISI, in 1955 published a paper in the journal Science that exposed the concept of citation indexing to a wide audience within the scientific community. This paper communicated a philosophy that is the core of the Web of Science (and Web of Knowledge for that matter) today – the provision of links between published works on a multidisciplinary scale. A resource for driving discovery.
WHY IS THIS VALUABLE TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY/TO RESEARCHERS? Because it allows to draw the complete picture, prior art.
Allows you to move forward and backward in time, discovering relationships between published works as determined by the articles authors
Find new, unknown information based on older, known information
Track use of your research or a competitor’s research
Backward through “Cited References”
Uses cited references as subject terms
Explore hidden connections between research papers.
Citations symbolize the association of scientific ideas. Taking into account citations is very important because they show how others use a work in subsequent research and therefore can give us valuable clues as to how/and in which direction science is evolving in given fields.
