Abstract


Sorooshian has highlighted an important aspect which we are witnessing today - publication phishing. He describes how these 'phishers' use techniques to lure gullible scientists (or gullible writers who want to have a publication to add to their CV or for promotion, in some cases) to believe that a journal is authentic, where, in fact, it may not.
