Check issn, cope and doaj
ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is an identifier that uniquely identifies journals and publishers. It is therefore always a good idea to check whether the ISSN is listed in the ISSN register.
DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) is an indexing service that provides information on open access journals. Indexing in DOAJ is a certain indication of the openness and credibility of a journal.
COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) is an organization where journals and publishers agree to abide by ethical guidelines issued by COPE. If a journal or publisher is a member, it is a good sign that they are following the highest standards of legitimate publishing.
If you want to check this information at once, we recommend using the Predatory publishing ISSN Check website.
IAP Report Combatting predatory academic journals and conferences
Combatting Predatory Academic Journals and Conferences report was prepared by a global network InterAcademy Partnership (IAP). As stated in the summary report, p. 5: "the primary objective of the study was to identify practicable and effective interventions that can curb and help combat the concerning rise in predatory journals and conferences, and provide recommendations to key stakeholder communities to this effect. The Working Group has drawn evidence from a unique survey of academicians and researchers from all over the world; gained insights and perspectives from dialogues with global, regional and national practitioners from key stakeholder communities; and conducted an extensive literature review. An important outcome of these activities has been a better understanding of what is meant by predatory journals and conferences; the extent to which they have pervaded the global research community; and what can be done to combat them. The recommendations in this report are the views of the Working Group and not necessarily of IAP."
