Abstract

This article investigates the ramifications of predatory publishing for the integrity of research and public trust in science. It delineates the phenomenon as the dissemination of scholarly works not subject to quality assurance and explores the motivation of both publishers and researchers to engage with such outlets. While the prevalence of predatory practices within academic databases and the complexities in distinguishing legitimate journals from predatory ones are critically examined, strategies to combat predatory publishing are also outlined.
