With the spread of open-access journals, academic publishing has changed tremendously and there are now more journals for authors to publish their work in than ever before. This benefits authors but also puts greater responsibility on them to avoid the serious threat of publishing in a predatory journal. Although there is now greater awareness, it can still be difficult for authors to distinguish predatory journals and events (conferences) from reputable ones. This workshop will discuss how predatory journals are different from open-access journals and will guide you on how to check if your journal is reputable or not by demonstrating the range of behaviours lumped under this term. Learning Outcomes of this workshop include:

• Understanding different journal metrics
• Identifying possible misleading metrics
• Improving relevant journal selection strategies
• Identifying Fake/Cloned/Predatory Journals and Conferences
• Identifying Cloned Websites
• Improving knowledge on open-access policies of journals
• Optimal usage of journal finder tools
• Efficient interpreting and reporting of research in quality journals
