#predatoryjournal is a complex issue. I consider that we should focus on two things: 1. Support researchers before they submit a Paper, 2. Reform #researchassessment
I'm against generalizations in this subject.

We talk a lot about predatory journals, but I just encountered my first PREDATORY PODCAST!🚨 www.scipod.global
They reach out, set up a meeting, then—when you ask about their economic model—you realize they want £1000 for a 10-min recorded podcast. That’s here you run away.

Came across an insightful paper yesterday. Its conclusion had multiple impactful takeaways, and the generalizability needs more exploration. It inspired me to write a commentary, but the paper’s publication in a #predatoryJournal stopped me—Always be cautious where you publish! #AcademicIntegrity
