Crouching tiger and rejoice jackals: Scholarly vs predatory Open Access journalsMahatma Gandhi University Library
Predatory journals aggressively market themselves and promise quick publication for a fee without providing proper editorial or publishing services. Their main goal is financial gain rather than communicating science. They take advantage of researchers in developing countries and the focus on quantity over quality of publications. Features of predatory journals include lack of contact information, broad topics to attract articles, and claims of being leading publishers without following standard practices. The rise of these journals is fueled by academic performance indicators, focus on quantity, and lack of oversight in scholarly publishing. Researchers must carefully check for journals on blacklists and follow transparency of peer review processes to avoid being preyed upon by predatory journals.What Makes a Predatory Journals and How to Stop Publishing In it?

Predatory journals 2019
Predatory journals are defined as publishers that exploit the open-access model by charging publication fees without providing proper peer review or editorial oversight. They engage in deceptive practices like not informing authors of fees until after acceptance, spamming scholars to publish or join editorial boards, quickly accepting low-quality papers including hoaxes, and falsely listing scholars as authors or editorial board members without permission. Predatory journals can be identified by checking lists maintained at sites like predatoryjournals.com, which catalog journals based on criteria like exorbitant fees, lack of transparency, and questionable publication practices.
Scholarly or Popular press?
This document compares the characteristics of scholarly and popular press publications. Scholarly publications are intended for other scholars and specialists, contain original research findings, use in-text citations or footnotes, and are published by university presses or academic publishers. Popular press publications are intended for a general audience, often summarize information from other sources, may use more sensational language, and authors could be subject experts or journalists. Examples given include a scholarly book on genetically modified foods and popular books on the same topic with different points of view.
SCOUTING PREDATORY PUBLISHER
Predatory publishers aim to exploit the open-access model by publishing counterfeit journals and charging publication fees without providing proper editorial and publishing services. They often target inexperienced researchers. Jeffrey Beall, who coined the term "predatory open access publishing," warns that these publishers use deception to appear legitimate and entrap researchers into submitting work and paying fees. The number of predatory publishers has grown rapidly since 2011. Researchers should carefully vet journals and publishers to avoid predatory practices by checking for full contact details, legitimate editorial boards, transparent fee policies, and signs the operation may intend to deceive authors.
Reputation, authority and incentives. Or: How to get rid of the Impact Factor
The document discusses issues with the current journal impact factor system and proposes alternatives that provide a more comprehensive assessment of research. It suggests moving beyond just counting citations and journal hierarchy to evaluate where work is published, media coverage, community feedback and ratings, usage statistics, and other alternative metrics. The current impact factor system is criticized as being narrowly focused only on citations, irreproducible, and failing to assess the quality and reach of individual articles.

Predatory Journals
Predatory journals actively solicit manuscripts from researchers but lack proper peer review and editorial boards. They often publish low-quality papers solely to charge publication fees without providing legitimate scholarly services. Researchers should be wary of these journals as publishing in them can corrupt the academic literature and mislead others about the quality of their work. Various studies have exposed predatory journals by getting computer-generated nonsense papers and unqualified scientists accepted. Scholars can check for warning signs like missing or fake editorial boards, poor website quality, and surprise article fees to identify potentially predatory journals.
Predatory Publications and Software Tools for Identification
Journals that publish work without proper peer review and which charge scholars sometimes huge fees to submit should not be allowed to share space with legitimate journals and publishers, whether open access or not. These journals and publishers cheapen intellectual work by misleading scholars, preying particularly early career researchers trying to gain an edge. The credibility of scholars duped into publishing in these journals can be seriously damaged by doing so. It is important that as a scholarly community we help to protect each other from being taken advantage of in this way.

Summary
This source analyzes the abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates in people suffering from diabetes. This abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates leads to a situation where an individual has an abnormal amount of glucose in the blood. This abnormal amount of glucose can also be detected in the urine of the affected individual.
Assessment
This source is a book and is found in the university library. It is peer reviewed. This means that the information it contains has been scrutinized and verified by other experts in the field. It is, therefore, a very reliable source.
Critique
This source is very relevant to my research as a whole. First of all it gives information on the working dynamics of diabetes. This is with reference to the blood and urine of the affected individual. A weakness of this source is the lack of visual aids. However, it has no clear biases.
Sheen, B. (2013). Diabetes (4th ed.). Farmington Hills, MI: Lucent Books Comment by Dr. M.: This is better than the previous book…but get away from books. Use journal articles instead. Get the most current, most up-to-date info.
Summary
This source looks at type 2 diabetes. This is a form of diabetes in which the body produces insulin. However, this insulin is not used by the body as is appropriate. The result of this is an imbalance in the blood sugar levels.

Research into mealtimes and older people with dementia.pptx
This document discusses research into helping older people with dementia during mealtimes. Dementia can cause problems with intelligence, memory, language, wandering, aggression and more. It also discusses the ethical issues around feeding those with dementia. The Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia scale is presented as the most widely used and validated measure of feeding difficulty. Several studies testing interventions like music or Montessori-based activities found positive outcomes, though more rigorous research is still needed. Spaced retrieval training was found to reduce mealtime difficulties and promote independence. Creating the right environment, social interactions and individualized care can help prolong eating ability in dementia patients.
Research into mealtimes and older people with dementia
This document discusses research into helping older people with dementia during mealtimes. Dementia can cause problems with intelligence, memory, language, wandering, aggression and more. It also raises ethical questions around feeding. The Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia scale is presented as the most validated measure of feeding difficulty. Several studies testing interventions like music or Montessori-based activities found positive outcomes, though more rigorous research is still needed. Factors like environment, social interaction and individualizing care can help promote independence in feeding for longer. Spaced retrieval training also showed promise in reducing mealtime difficulties. While numbers of those with dementia will rise, targeted interventions may help alleviate associated problems like eating.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Journal Article Review on Rasamanikya

- 12. Predatory Publishing Quick Check Has the publisher started dozens of new open access titles all at once? Do the published titles have very few papers (if any)? Does the publisher send emails asking for manuscript submissions or to serve on editorial board? Does the publisher fail to disclose the names/qualifications of editorial board members or editors? Is the publisher’s address NOT verifiable? Is there very little evidence of peer review? Crawford (2011)
