With predatory publishers gaining more attention and growing at a rapid pace, more information is being published to inform researchers how to detect and avoid these journals. Thanks to Beall's work, librarians are finding their expertise being recognized and may soon find a stronger place in research processes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
