Selecting a Journal for Publication

Check the list of COPE members by entering a journal title or publisher name into the search box. "COPE is a forum for editors and publishers of peer reviewed journals to discuss all aspects of publication ethics." Members must meet COPE standards and so, should not be predatory.

Check the DOAJ's extensive list of open access journals. Although they can't guarantee that no publisher or journal on their lists is predatory, they attempt to include only high quality journals and publishers.

Check the list of OASPA members to see if the publisher is listed.
