      ab: The article reviews "Predatory Publishing and Global Scholarly Communications" by Monica Berger, which examines the complexities of predatory publishing within the broader context of scholarly communication. Berger, a librarian and professor, argues that predatory publishing is a multifaceted issue influenced by systemic pressures in academia, including the prioritization of quantity over quality in research outputs. The book critiques the misconception that predatory publishing is primarily a problem of the Global South, highlighting its global nature and the involvement of authors from prestigious institutions in the U.S. It also discusses the implications of neoliberal values on scholarly communication and offers practical solutions for librarians to address these challenges. The work is noted for its clarity, depth, and commitment to equity, making it a valuable resource for understanding predatory publishing.
