I have limited experience in publishing, which is why the topic of predatory journals and conferences is still quite new to me. However, I am well aware of the prevailing “publish or perish” culture within scientific institutions—a phrase I’ve heard mentioned occasionally by university faculty members. Without proper awareness, young researchers like myself, who have little to no experience in publishing, can easily fall prey to these predatory journals and conferences.

This highlights the critical importance of consistently educating learners on how to identify and avoid such predatory institutions. From Dr. Balolong’s talk, I realized that the scientific community could face even greater challenges in academic publishing as the digital landscape continues to expand. Without proper regulations, these issues may persist and lead to the spread of misinformation and poor-quality science, ultimately harming the integrity of the academic community.
