The journal Nature has published a series of articles on predatory journals and conferences. Three articles feature the IAP study overview and quote the IAP co-chair Diane Negra, who was a member of the IAP Predatory Practices Working Group.
Read the three articles here:
Predatory conferences are on the rise. Here are five ways to tackle them.
Early-career researchers are being targeted by organizers of exploitative meetings. There needs to be more awareness and perhaps legal redress over this dangerous development.
The InterAcademy Partnership and other advocacy groups issue guidance to researchers on how to spot a predatory conference. The initiative Stop Predatory Practices, mentioned in the first Nature article, was developed by the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, with support from IAP through a small grant.
