Predatory journals are journals without peer-review and with titles that are deceptively similar to those of existing, highly estimated journals published by e.g. Elsevier or Springer – and who will publish anything for payment.
Researchers publishing in predatory journals miss citations and exposure. When research is published by, or associated with, predatory publishers, it reflects badly on the individual researcher.
Inevitably, it harms the reputation of DTU and the DTU departments when DTU researchers publish in predatory journals.
An article in the Danish paper Weekendavisen (16 August 2019) recently discussed the subject* (in Danish)
Roadshow for DTU departments
