On Thursday, September 18, 2025, ONE UPH Library, in collaboration with Elsevier ScienceDirect, held a webinar entitled “Avoiding Predatory Journal” as a part of Elsevier’s Capacity Building Training Series.   

In this session, delivered by Dr. Johan Jang, introduced predatory journals as a form of misconduct within the academic community. These journals are not built on the spirit of advancing knowledge but rather on maximizing profit. They often attract students and inexperienced researchers due to the ease and speed of their publication process. However, submitting articles to predatory journals can lead to serious consequences, not only for the individual author but also for their institution, country, and the academic discipline with which they are affiliated. 

In response, Dr. Johan shared some useful tips to avoid predatory journals, such as: (1) Check the listed editor’s name and ensure they have a relevant background in the journal’s subject area; and (2) Verify the publisher and confirm that it is genuinely affiliated with the journal. 

Dr. Johan emphasized that Elsevier ScienceDirect is committed to maintaining a healthy academic ecosystem by addressing predatory journals. Users are encouraged to support this effort by reporting suspected predatory journals through the official contact available on the website.
