Check. Attend.<span>Think. Check. Attend. is an initiative that aims to guide and assist researchers and scholars to judge the legitimacy and academic credentials of conferences in order to help them decide whether to or not attend the same. Nowadays, the scholarly community faces an increasing number of invitations to present at or attend conferences. Some of these are respectable, academic events, while others are misleading, exaggerated or even fake. Think. Check. Attend. provides guidelines that help researchers to differentiate between an authentic conference and the one they should avoid. In this initiative, we help scholars to recognise the characteristics of a trusted conference to attend and submit their abstracts through a number of steps and a check list. Simply follow these steps and you will rest assured that you attend only the most appropriate conferences.</span></p></div> <div id="main" class="container"> <section id="featured-post" class="layout-three"><div class="featued-content-wrap"> <article class="post hentry first"> <figure class="featured-homepage-image"> <a title="" href="/think/" target="_self"> <img src="https://thinkcheckattend.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/think-2.png" class="wp-post-image" alt="" title=""> </a> </figure> <div class="entry-container"> <div class="entry-content"> Is it the right conference to attend and present your research? </div> </div> </article> <article class="post hentry"> <figure class="featured-homepage-image"> <a title="" href="/check/" target="_self"> <img src="https://thinkcheckattend.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/check-1.png" class="wp-post-image" alt="" title=""> </a> </figure> <div class="entry-container"> <div class="entry-content"> This check list provides guidance on trusting a conference to attend and present your research. </div> </div> </article> <article class="post hentry"> <figure class="featured-homepage-image"> <a title="" href="/attend/" target="_self"> <img src="https://thinkcheckattend.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/attaend-2.png" class="wp-post-image" alt="" title=""> </a> </figure> <div class="entry-container"> <div class="entry-content"> Complete the check list and attend the conference. </div> </div> </article></div></section> </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.
