Predatory Publishing 101: What Every Medical Librarian Should Know

Medical librarians and other information professionals will learn about predatory publishers and how to identify these types of journals/publishers. The session will provide a brief introduction to the open access movement and how predatory publishing fits into this model. We will talk about the key characteristics of predatory journals and how to identify potential red flags when looking at a publisher’s website. Participants are invited to bring their own examples of questionable journals, and we will provide an opportunity to evaluate examples of journals during the session. We will offer suggested resources for locating reputable open-access journals.

Everyone is invited to the business meeting. Registration for the webinar will go out in late September or early October. This is an NNLM funded webinar with first access to registration going to MDMLG members.
