Fake Conferences: More widespread than you think!

I have seen quite a few posts on Linkedin in the past week or so about fake reviews, fake journals and general fakeness all around.  It reminded me of a fascinating conversation I had with Professor Perry Hobson last year about fake conferences and their impact on academia.

For those who didn't get a chance to hear this when first published, please enjoy.

 

In this latest Think Education podcast @ProfChrisHill talks to Professor Perry Hobson, Director of BUas Academy for Tourism at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, about fake conferences and the impact these have on academia.

Perry outlined work he has undertaken looking at the issue of fake conferences, how they operate and the knock on effect they can have on academic practice.

We discussed the academic practice of creating and disseminating knowledge and the challenges of access – in terms of paid journal subscriptions – faced by many countries around the world.

 

Mounties always get their man!
