Abstract
ABSTRACT
The concept of open access journals was introduced with the aim to make the
scientific articles accessible and visible to all. But a new threat called predatory
journals has emerged targeting the young researchers of developing nations. These
bogus journals mislead the authors as well as readers in various negative ways.
Hence, we should recognize such journals and avoid becoming the prey.
