Check if a journal is recognized by ISSN, COPE or DOAJ

When you are checking a journal, three of the initial checks to carry out are to find out if the ISSN number a publisher is using is recognized by the ISSN Portal. You may also check whether they are members of COPE and DOAJ. The Predatory Publishing team has developed a web page that enables you to check whether a journal is recognized by these organizations. This tool allows you to do an aggregated search of the three websites at once. The URL to access the web page is https://predatory-publishing.com/ISSNCheck/?issn=1234-5678. Please note you have to replace the ISSN at the end of the link with the ISSN you are looking up.
