Description
Research Series 101: Unmasking Predatory Practices in Academic Spaces is a comprehensive, accessible, and urgent guide to navigating the hidden dangers within the modern academic landscape. Written for students, faculty, researchers, librarians, and institutional leaders, the book shines a spotlight on four major fronts of academic deception: predatory publishing, academic fraud, fake conferences, and diploma mill universities.
This book equips readers with the tools to recognize red flags, critically assess invitations and opportunities, and make ethical, informed decisions. It includes checklists, real-world case studies, policy recommendations, and institutional frameworks that can be adapted by higher education institutions.
