Andy Nobes, Program Officer for Research Development at INASP, reminds how difficult it is for non-native English speakers researchers, to recognize predatory journals. He highlights the role of Think. Check. Submit. and INASP’s AuthorAID set of initiatives aiming to provide support to researchers from developing countries in preparing academic articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
