Guide on predatory and questionable publishing practices

06 May 2024

Questionable and predatory publishers abuse the open access model by collecting Article Processing Charges (APCs) without providing proper editorial and peer-review services. How can authors recognize and avoid these journals? What can authors do if they have published with a questionable or predatory publisher?

Open access specialists at universities across the Netherlands have written a guide that provides insight and practical advice for authors.
This guide can be found on the CMB Library guide Predatory publishers

A series of open science guides help researchers in the Netherlands navigate open science. They cover topics such as pre-prints, open licenses, questionable publication practices, and how to apply open science in practice.
All guides are open access and are available via the open repository Zenodo. For ease of reference, we have gathered the guides on the CMB Library guide Practical Guides .
