Predatory conferences: A to Z elements
Predatory conferences are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their marketing and presentation. They can waste time and research funds, and damage your reputation and academic integrity.
There’s no single checklist for identifying a predatory conference, but reputable conferences share some common qualities and features. These can be used to help you decide which conferences you should, and shouldn’t, engage with.
TEQSA has published an A to Z of predatory conferences, to help you work out which ones are reputable. Providers are welcome to download the A to Z to share with academics and students. You may wish to add it to your institution's website, include it in your next newsletter, or print it for use as a poster around campus.
