Check. Submit has a range of resources available to help you. Our website’s resource page contains explanations and resources you can download and repurpose <a href="https://bit.ly/3ymh7Wt">https://bit.ly/3ymh7Wt</a>.</p> <p>These include easy-to-read, concise definitions of Predatory Publishing, as well as information on what to watch out for. We also provide explanations on terms such as metrics, peer review, preservation, and information about copyright and licensing.</p> <p>You may also want to read <a href="https://bit.ly/3LWTqrT"><em>Predatory publishing practices: what researchers should know before submitting their manuscript</em>聽</a>an article by Cenyu Shen and Leena Shah.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Video guide for librarians</h3> <p>We recently released a video titled “<a href="https://thinkchecksubmit.org/guide-for-librarians/">Publishing Due Diligence</a>“, presented by Katherine Stephan, the Research Engagement Librarian at Liverpool John Moores University. In the video, Katherine shares her experience and explains how she uses the principles of “Think. Check. Submit” to help researchers identify trusted publishers. She emphasises that there is no single list to check for trusted publishers and highlights the importance of diligent research to avoid potential pitfalls.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Checklists</h3> <p>Our <a href="https://thinkchecksubmit.org/journals/"><strong>checklist for journals</strong></a> is available in over forty languages, and our checklist for<a href="https://thinkchecksubmit.org/books-and-chapters/"><strong> books and chapters</strong></a> is available in twenty languages. If you have not visited our website for a while, please take a moment to look. Our new website now offers interactive and downloadable checklists, making it easier for researchers and librarians to use our tools.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Librarians can also help us to get the word out</h3> <p>Did you know that library websites are one of the significant sources of traffic to Think. Check. Submit.? To promote TCS, publishers and libraries can add a brief explanation and link to their website and embed our short video. You can visit <a href="https://bit.ly/3QyMbaR">https://bit.ly/3QyMbaR</a> to learn how to do this. Embedding the video can help increase awareness and educate researchers about predatory publishing. We have an English language version and a Japanese language version.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Events</h3> <p>If you’re organizing a webinar or online event about predatory publishing, kindly let us know. We may provide a speaker or presentation slides for your event. If you are presenting yourself, you may find our <a href="https://thinkchecksubmit.org/resource/slide-deck-about-think-check-submit/">pre-made slides</a> useful.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1200" height="630" src="https://thinkchecksubmit.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/tcs-open-graph.jpg" alt="ipad screen with checklist" class="wp-image-2920" srcset="https://thinkchecksubmit.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/tcs-open-graph.jpg 1200w, https://thinkchecksubmit.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/tcs-open-graph-300x158.jpg 300w, https://thinkchecksubmit.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/tcs-open-graph-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https://thinkchecksubmit.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/tcs-open-graph-768x403.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure> </div></article><p class="bottom-button gb-block-button"><a class="gb-button wp-block-button__link" href="/news/">Back to News</a></p></main></div></div><section class="connect"><div class="wrap"><h2>Stay up to date with the latest</h2>  <div class="connect-container"> <aside class="newsletter-widget"> <div class=" mailpoet_form_popup_overlay "></div> <div id="mailpoet_form_1" class=" mailpoet_form mailpoet_form_php mailpoet_form_position_ mailpoet_form_animation_ " > <style type="text/css"> #mailpoet_form_1 .mailpoet_form { } #mailpoet_form_1 .mailpoet_column_with_background { padding: 10px;
