Abstract
Many academic family physicians, especially those involved in research, receive regular, frequent e-mails from medical journals requesting that they submit manuscripts or join editorial boards. In our “publish or perish” academic culture this can be tempting. Unfortunately, some authors who are not aware of predatory journals succumb to the lure of submitting work to these dubious entities, only to have their payments wasted, their valuable research published in a noncredible journal, and their work held hostage.
