We’re making it easier to spot predatory or problematic journals and articles in the UWSP Libraries resources!  Thanks to a new subscription to the  Cabells Predatory Reports database, there are now two benefits when using the libraries’ resources.

If a journal has misleading metrics, deceptive research, suspicious peer review, irregular publication practices, or other red flags, Cabells may list it in Predatory Reports . How It Works:  First, you will now have direct access to the listing of academic journals that Cabells Publishing has evaluated and found troubling characteristics.

Or maybe you’ve read an article that you aren’t sure is credible. You can search for the journal...
