About the webinar: Open Access journals are a critical part of the current and future of the scholarly research/information landscape. However, in the past decade, the scientific community has faced a serious threat to its integrity and credibility with the rise of predatory journals. Although the descriptor "predatory "has been criticised for grossly conflating poor quality with misconduct and for simplistically classifying the scholarly publishing environment into bad and good (predatory or not), the term is now widely accepted to describe the phenomenon.

During this webinar, we will discuss this phenomenon with Franca Deriu and Andrea Manca from the University of Sassari, both authors of numerous research papers published in leading scientific journals - e.g., The Lancet, Nature, and The British Medical Journal. During this session, we will dedicate some time to Q&A that will be moderated by EBSCO’s Sara Earley.
