What is predatory publishing?
A predatory journal is an online academic journal which charges people money to publish their article, but without the services that usually warrant the money, such as peer review or editing.
Researchers pay to publish in a journal - so that readers don’t have to - in the open access publishing model. In exchange for the fee, articles in journals of high quality are edited, reviewed by peers within their discipline, and archived in the journal’s archives, among other services. Source: AfricaCheck

Predatory journals & citation pollution
Not all academic journals are made equal: some are the pinnacle of global scholarship, while others are a collection of articles thrown together with little regard for quality or rigour. At worst, it might even be a scam journal specifically out to make money.
If you are a researcher, fact-checker or journalist, how can you know that the article you’re citing is a legitimate piece of research in a credible journal?
