Summary:

"Predatory publishing is a complex problem that harms a broad array of stakeholders and concerns across the scholarly communications system...To fix what is broken in scholarly communications, academic librarians must act as both teachers and advocates and partner with other stakeholders who have the agency to change how scholarship is produced, assessed, and rewarded. [This book] is a unique and comprehensive exploration of predatory publishing in four parts...It examines the history of predatory publishing and basics of scholarly assessment; identifies types of research misconduct and unethical scholarly behaviors; provides critical context to predatory publishing and scholarly communications beyond the Global North; and offers structural and pedagogical solutions and teaching materials for librarians to use in their work with authors, students, faculty, and other stakeholders..." -- Provided by publisher.
