Predatory Publishing is a new reality and threat that all researchers have to be aware of and learn how to deal with. The modus operandi of predatory publishers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and Subcommittee B of the Research Committee have become concerned that SU researchers may also fall prey to these schemes. They have therefore asked Prof Johann Mouton to share his expertise on the subject with them and the broader SU research community. You are thus invited to the following presentation:
Title: The extent of predatory publishing by South African academics: results and consequences
Presenter: Prof Johann Mouton (Director of the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) and the DST-NRF Centre of Excellence for Scientometrics and Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (SciSTIP))

Date: 4 April 2017
Time: 13:00 – 14:00
