Abstract
- While some may be tempted to respond by submitting papers to predatory journals that will publish almost anything for a fee ([2]), this approach may not satisfy institutional research managers who seek, rightly or wrongly, papers in journals with high impact factors ([1]). I am writing this editorial less than a month before the beginning of a new academic year in the southern hemisphere, so in my day job I am preoccupied with preparing teaching materials. Furthermore, the goal of authors paying for a paper from a paper mill is to place the paper in a reputable journal, so if they succeed the work cannot be identified as readily as it would be if published in an acknowledged predatory journal.
