Amin Asadi et al. Sci Eng Ethics. 2018 Apr.

Abstract

The main objective of the present paper is to introduce some features of fake/bogus conferences and some viable approaches to differentiate them from the real ones. These fake/bogus conferences introduce themselves as international conferences, which are multidisciplinary and indexed in major scientific digital libraries. Furthermore, most of the fake/bogus conference holders offer publishing the accepted papers in ISI journals and use other techniques in their advertisement e-mails.

Keywords: Bogus conference; Conference; Conference features; Fake; Real conferences.
