Rezensionen

"In this timely collection, Habibie and Fazel assemble cutting-edge research on various aspects of this growing phenomenon, from its history and circumstances to discoursal features and attributes of English-medium predatory publishing. Different chapters explore how predators exploit weaknesses in the current evaluation system, who and why falls prey to their practices, and how predatory publications and conferences exacerbate inequalities in knowledge production and distribution of socioeconomic resources across the world. Several chapters in the volume propose strategies for how to respond to, and deal with, the malpractice. The volume offers new insights into this increasingly complex phenomenon and provides recommendations for policy and practice. It is a must read for early-career researchers, university policymakers, and academic writing instructors." - Maria Kuteeva, Professor of English Linguistics, Stockholm University, Sweden

"This timely collection explores one of the most bewildering and pressing topics of contemporary academia: predatory publishing. Competently led by Habibie and Fazel, contributors shed light on this duplicitous practice, while offering practical tips on how to recognize and avoid it. With novice and marginalized scholars particularly at risk of falling prey to exploitation, the book's attention to the wider context of metrics-driven research evaluation regimes makes this essential reading for all academics." - Anna Kristina Hultgren, Professor of Sociolinguistics and Applied Linguistics and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, The Open University, UK
