%J -
%D 2019
%X The aim of this study is to inform scholars of education about the growing danger of predatory journals and conferences (PJC) in scientific publishing ethics. A rare study (Demir, 2018a) revealed that Turkey ranks third among geographical locations of predatory journals. Increasing numbers of publications in predatory journals and participation in predatory conferences is also most prevalent among researchers from educational fields (Demir, 2018b, 2018c). Nonetheless, the national literature of education lacks informative studies regarding PJC. The present study is expected to help fill this gap in the education literature. The introduction of this paper provides information about ethical scholarly publishing, followed by a description of the traditional scholarly publishing model. The open access model and the emergence of predatory journals is explained next. Common features and methods of PJC are presented. An insight into the current situation regarding PJC in Turkey is provided through an analysis of limited national research literature that is available. The paper concludes with a discussion of harm related to PJC, and recommendation of preventative measures against them
