Abstract

What is a Predatory Publisher: With little or no actual services or scholarly review being performed the sole purpose of these publishers is to make money through fraudulently charging authors fees, often guised as processing or open access fees. However, most publishers that charge fees are not predatory therefore this can not be the sole characteristic of a predatory publisher.
