Perilous Predatory Publishing: Best Practices to Identify and Avoid Predatory Journals
Have you ever received an email inviting you to publish in a scholarly journal? Have you been unsure of the quality of that journal – perhaps they are a new start-up, and not yet known, or perhaps the journal is produced by a predatory publisher looking to take advantage of authors. Recently, it has become harder and harder to distinguish the trustworthy journals from predatory journals. Predatory publishers and journals may disseminate plagiarized materials, or material lacking in quality control and lacking peer review all while charging the author a fee.
Artist Books at TUSC: In Conversation with Alisa Banks, Kadin Henningsen, and Sara White
Get an introduction to artist books and learn more about our growing collection at Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC)! We are thrilled to host three incredible book artists on April 8 at 2:00 p.m. and explore their artist books held at TUSC. An art form in their own right, artist books have a long history and often use text, book craft, and sculptural elements to convey their ideas. Join our panelists, Alisa Banks, Kadin Henningsen of Meanwhile... Letterpress, and Sara White of Alluvium Press, as they discuss their work, their processes, and what artist books mean to them.
