==============================

Predatory journals are getting harder to spot—and the consequences of submitting to one can be disastrous for your research and publishing plans. In this video, you’ll learn practical, step-by-step ways to evaluate a journal so you can protect your work, your reputation, and your future submissions. By the end, you’ll have a clear, repeatable process for deciding whether a journal deserves your manuscript—or whether it is safer to walk away. This video is especially helpful for scientists, clinicians, medical writers, postdocs, and graduate students navigating journal selection and submission.

If you’ve ever received a suspicious journal invitation—or had a confusing experience with a journal—feel free to share (without identifying details) in the comments. Your story might help another researcher avoid the same trap.
