Abstract

Dissemination is a key component of the research process. It involves sharing the findings and outcomes of research with a wider audience, both within the academic community and beyond.

There are multiple facets to Good Dissemination Practices including, but not limited to,

  • Avoiding predatory journals - In the recently published European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity it is stated that examples of “unacceptable practices include … establishing, supporting, or deliberately using journals, publishers, events, or services that undermine the quality of research (‘predatory’ journals or conferences and paper mills)” (p.11). These practices require growing emphasis given the presence of MDPI which has a general reputation of being legitimate but are increasingly being viewed as ‘predatory’ by researchers and librarians.

In this recording, Sinéad Hanrahan, Digital Scholarship Librarian, provides practical guidance on Identifying Predatory Journals, to support compliance with local, national and international Good Dissemination Practices.
