Predatory publishing is an umbrella term that encompasses those publishers who engage in unfair practices towards authors and their texts, such as offering extortionate publication fees for open access journals, publishing articles/books that have not been submitted for peer review, have been negatively reviewed or do not meet scientific criteria.
If you have any questions about predatory scientific practices or specific journal titles, please contact the Reference and Bibliometric Analysis Department, University of Lodz Library at

The Reference and Bibliometric Analysis Department prepares analyses of indicated journals to detect possible unfair publication practices.
