Some authors unwittingly submit good research to “deceptive,” “predatory,” or lower quality journals. That does not make the research inherently poor. As Shea Swauger states, “Just because something was published in a predatory journal doesn’t mean that it’s false or poor research. Just because something was published in a prestigious closed-access journal doesn’t mean that it’s true or excellent.”
