Submit</h2> <p>Think Check Submit is a global campaign to help researchers identify trusted journals for their research. It is a simple checklist that researchers can use to assess the credentials of a journal or a publisher. The 3-step approach encourages researchers to ‘Think’ about whether the journal to which they are submitting their research is a trusted journal, to ‘Check’ the journal against a set of criteria to ensure it is right for their work, and to ‘Submit’ their work only if the journal adheres to certain standards and criteria.</p> <p>The campaign has been produced with the support of a coalition from across the scholarly communications community in response to discussions about deceptive publishing.</p> <p>For more details about Think Check Submit and its checklists, please visit <a href="https://thinkchecksubmit.org/">https://thinkchecksubmit.org/</a></p> </div> </article> <div id="comments" class="comments-area"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer id="colophon" role="contentinfo"> <div id="footer-sidebar" class="container"> <div id="supplementary" class="two"> <div id="second" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <aside id="text-8" class="widget widget_text"><h1 class="widget-title">About Think.
