Caution Regarding Predatory Journals
Some open access journals have no academic credibility. This is because they only aim to revenue from the article submission charge (APC) and do not conduct proper peer review. They are called "Predatory Journals" and have become a major problem.
If you submit an article to Predatory Journals, it will undermine your research results and credibility, and will have a negative impact on your career in the future. Please choose your submissions carefully.
