“…Richtig et al (2018) propose that a new system would have to be implemented to identify predatory journals. Rightly Strielkowski (2018) raises the concern that there is no clear recommendation as to what to do with journals that Beall suspected of having fraudulent practices that are indexed in respected databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. Should the researchers continue to publish on them or should they seek other blacklists and guidelines from ethics commissions for publication?…”

“…In response to this phenomenon, he decided to devote himself to these ghosts and after a period of effort and work he created a list of predatory publishers and journals, which today is known as the Beall's list. Quek and Teo (2018) Strielkowski, 2018). As Umlauf and Mochizuki (2018) point out, Beall's criteria for completing these lists were not research-based but they were based on library science standards.…”

“…This list is presented by its creators, Cabell's, the scholarly analytics company from Beaumont, Texas, as the "the only blacklist of deceptive and predatory academic journals." Today, this list contains more than 4,000 regular journals and many more under review (Strielkowski, 2018). Beall's List was accessible free of charge, and everybody could consult it any time.…”

“…As stated by Cabell's, 'the 1-year subscription to its Blacklist can be purchased for a $1500 addon cost with the purchase of at least 1 more discipline on the Whitelist (ranging from $1000 to $3600 for 1 set).' Regrettably, Cabell's list does not allow authors to check their profiles for free as they can in Scopus (Strielkowski, 2018).…”

Academics and scholars need to publish their research results. In addition, they are required to publish scientific papers to prove their research commitment and to achieve certain academic titles in higher education institutions. Globally, there are many scientific journals of well-known publishing houses/universities, which offer opportunities to publish scientific work. One of the recent topics in academic circles is the increasing number of invitations to publish articles via quick procedures, without going through the adequate review process. This phenomenon is threatening academic integrity, as these publishers/journals aim at financial benefits and not contributing to scientific development and progress. There is a gap in the knowledge of the scientific researchers regarding the journal selection to publish their work. Some of them are still unintentionally publishing in such journals, mainly as a lack of information about them. The main purpose of this study is awarenessraising, warning, and guidance of scientific researchers, particularly young researchers by providing information on how to avoid submitting manuscripts in these journals. To achieve this, we have consulted the recent literature and practices of different countries, summarized the most used tools/methods to identify predatory publishers and journals, and lastly, we have developed a guiding algorithm for evaluating them.

“…Many predatory journals have so far been launched and published in the Middle East and Iran. Sometimes, it is hard for an author to distinguish between a legitimate and a predatory journal 8910. Being under pressure of publishing their articles by the national rules set for fulfillment of graduation or career promotion, some of the postgraduate students and even university faculty members happily pay the APC and publish their articles in predatory journals 11.…”
