Predatory conferences: Caveat emptor!

Manoj Pawar
It is a dream of every young researcher or postgraduate student to publish an article in an indexed journal and to present an oral paper or poster at a reputed conference. Unfortunately these young researchers are commonly fallen prey to predatory publications which have become a major hazard in recent years because of their rapid multidisciplinary proliferation. In fact many dermatologists daily come across with such fraudulent journals which have quite matured and rooted and now days, flourished with conference version i.e. ‘Predatory conferences’. In the name of greater good of Open Access, these fraudulent journals and organizers are prospering by trading on the naïve doctors and academicians, who look to enhance their academic resume and to earn tenure and promotion.
