Research: Beyond promotions, indexing agencies and impact factors!

Abstract

Many researchers are tempted to publish their research in supposedly “predator” journals. It is definitely not their first choice!

In this editorial I am attempting to point out some hurdles in scientific publication and possible solutions.
