Webinar // Predatory Publishers 

With the widespread adoption of Open Access, two competing economic models have emerged:the diamond model(free for authors and readers) and the APC model (publication fees paid by the author or their institution). Unfortunately, the latter has led to a proliferation of so-called "predatory" publishers. With little regard for the scientific quality of the articles they publish, these publishers are a trap that researchers should avoid at all costs.  

This presentation will focuson publishers considered to be predatoryor in a "gray area," the phenomenon of predatory conferences, and finally, the more emerging phenomenon of paper mills, which are facilitated by artificial intelligence. 

This webinar will be an opportunity to introduce you to the tools and reflexes you need to protect yourself. 

As part of UM's Open Science policy, UM's research support team is launchinga series of webinarsfor the scientific community.

Theseshortworkshops(20 to 40 minutes of presentation followed by discussion) will alternate between theoretical input and practical demonstrations on open science, scientific publications, and research data.
