SLA Europe Webinar - Think Check Submit vs predatory publishing
SLA Europe was delighted to welcome Think. Check. Submit to share more about their work and how librarians can support researchers in identifying trusted journals and advocate for active publishing choices.
Predatory publishing is not a new phenomenon and goes by many names, so finding a trusted journal can be challenging even for experienced researchers. The consequences of predatory publishing can harm a researcher’s reputation and career, particularly if they are unable to pay the large fees to withdraw their article or reassert their authorship.
Librarians and information professionals are often asked for advice on trustworthy publishing outlets and to support this, TCS has built a range of resources to avoid publishing traps and obstacles. The journal checklist is TCS’s leading tool, which is now available in 45 languages, as well as their more recent checklist for books and chapters, which has been developed in collaboration with OAPEN (Open Access Publishing in European Networks).
This webinar featured speakers, Lorraine Estelle and Katherine Stephan from Think Check Submit and was followed by a Q&A.
