According to a study, it was found that there has been an increase of approximately 692.45% in predatory publication volumes in a decade[1]. While researchers are constantly facing the fear of \u201cpublish or perish\u201d in academia, they tend to fall prey to predatory journals, which in turn leaves their research irrelevant. Thus, to make sure that your research reaches the right audience, it is imperative that you publish it in a journal that is reliable and genuine.<\/p>\n

Instead of being persuaded by the \u201cCall for Papers\u201d from a journal you have never heard of, it’s essential to choose reputable ones to maintain the integrity and credibility of your work. To help you increase your research impact by publishing in reputable and reliable open access journals, we have created a fool-proof checklist that will make your publishing journey smoother than ever.<\/p>\n
