Predatory Nursing Journals:
You have done an amazing job reviewing articles for your papers. However, some scholarly resources/research articles are not all quality work. These are often seen online, as a “predatory journal”.
Oermann, M., Conklin, J. L., Nicoll, L., Chinn, P., Ashton, K., Edie, A., Budinger, S. C., (2016). Study of predatory open access nursing journals (Links to an external site.). Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 48(6), 624-632.
It is about predatory journals that are using “not so good research” just to get publications. So read though, and think about if your articles fall into any of these sites.
