Predatory publishers run online journals that abuse the open access model and will accept almost any paper submitted. They offer little in terms of copy editing or peer review. Journal websites may include false information about impact factors, editorial board members, and other affiliations. These publishing models lead to bad science and damaged researcher reputations.  This session will provide an overview of the problem, and will teach you how to identify and avoid predatory biomedical journals and predatory conferences. Suggestions for finding reliable journals in which to publish are included.
