Date: Wednesday, April 10, 2019
Time: 10am CT / 9am MT
Description: The current academic discussion surrounding predatory publishing and practices is growing. More and more often, librarians find themselves in the role of facilitating decisions about whether a journal is reputable and where to publish. As publishing has become more complex, so have the questions that librarians need to field.
After attending this webinar, participants will:
* Place predatory publishing in the context of the changing publishing industry
* Understand why scholars might publish in disreputable journals
* Note the impact of predatory publishing on science and health
* Feel empowered by gaining the tools to make informed decisions.
