ATTENTION! Researchers and staff of the Scientific Library of Comrat State University! We would like to inform you about the materials provided within the framework of the project "The Phenomenon of Publishing in Pseudo-Scientific Predatory Outlets in the Academic Community of the Republic of Moldova" (code 24.80012.0807.14SE), funded by the National Agency for Research and Development of the Republic of Moldova. As part of this project, recommendations were developed to combat the phenomenon of predatory publishing, addressed to various stakeholders in the field of research and innovation. By following the electronic link below, you will find the following materials:

➡️ Recommendations for universities and research institutes (3 pages);

➡️ Recommendations for university and scientific libraries (3 pages) https://kdu.md/images/Scr-recomandari-CR.pdf.

The provided materials were compiled based on: an analysis of survey results among the academic community of the Republic of Moldova; a review of the national regulatory framework; a study of international best practices in this field. The phenomenon of predatory publications—represented by journals and conferences that offer paid publication without genuine scientific peer review—directly affects: the quality of scientific research; the credibility of the academic community; and the integrity of the academic evaluation process. We encourage you to carefully review the recommendations and consider them in your scientific and information-library activities
