Dear colleagues,
What is your own experience with the identification of the predatory journals? There is a lot of information on the internet but still, individual experiences vary from scholar to scholar. I would highly appreciate your recommendations and suggestions in order to determine if a journal is predatory or not. Thank you beforehand.
Best
Ibrahim

However, predatory journals usually have the following characteristics: aim to make money via page fees; make phoney claims (e.g. indexing and impact factors); and publish poor quality papers due to little or no peer-reviewing and editing. Few (if any) manuscript submissions are rejected, and a very fast acceptance and publication process is the standard operational procedure among most predatory journals. The above content was taken from my paper, “Writing for Publication for Students and University Staff”, which is available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342549330_Writing_for_Publication_for_Students_and_University_Staff
