Rapid Publication VS Predatory Journals
Rapid Publication VS Predatory Journals
In research, an appropriate journal selection goes without saying; this is because the quality and credibility of a journal intensely influence the peer review process, plagiarism detection, and the overall evaluation of submitted papers. Unless a rigorous evaluation mechanism is in place, the integrity of the research paper publication process may be questioned. Hence, the targeted journal’s impact factor verification must be needed to check. Moreover, whether it is indexed in renowned databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, JSTOR, DOAJ, ProQuest or EBSCOhost or not must be shed light on. It must be kept in mind that, without a thorough peer review process, reputable indexing, and international academic recognition, a publication is likely to be a disqualified piece of research.
However, one of the most important questions in academic writing, that is, what characteristics define a predatory journals, and how can such journals be identified? First of all, predatory journals submission procedures are easier than q1,q2,q3,q4 category types of journals. Secondly, journals that provide feedback and acceptance within just two or three days are likely to be predatory. Thirdly, journals that frequently send repeated emails inviting authors to publish papers are closely associated with predatory practices.
Therefore, emerging researchers must be cautious about predatory journals. By paying attention to the above stated criteria, they must be understood that prompt publication does not equate to recognition as an established researcher, indeed.
