Predatory journals

Predatory journals are publications that exploit the open-access model for profit without providing legitimate peer review or editorial services. They often solicit articles from researchers, promising quick publication for a fee, but lack the quality control and credibility typically associated with reputable academic journals. This can lead to the dissemination of poorly researched or false information. Researchers should be cautious and verify journal credentials before submitting their work to ensure their research is shared in a trustworthy and respected venue.
