      ab: The article focuses on the challenges posed by predatory journals in the scientific publishing landscape, particularly in the context of the transition from Closed Access (CA) to Open Access (OA) models. It discusses how OA provides free access to scientific literature but has also led to the rise of predatory journals that exploit this model for profit, often lacking proper peer review processes. The article highlights the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in identifying and blocking these predatory journals, detailing various AI tools and their capabilities. It emphasizes the need for increased awareness and education among researchers, especially early-career scientists, to recognize and protect themselves from predatory publishing practices.
