Guest Post – Why Should We Worry about Predatory Journals? Here’s One
Reason
How do I know it was a predatory journal? Well, there were a few indicators,
some strong and some merely suggestive. For one thing, the solicitation
addressed me as “Dr. Rick Anderson,” a relatively weak indicator given that I’m
referred to that way on a regular basis by people who assume that anyone with
the title “Associate Dean” must have a doctoral degree.
However, there were other elements of this solicitation that indicated much more strongly that this journal cares not at all about the qualifications of its authors or the quality of its content. The strongest of these was the opening sentence of the message:
