WORKSHOP: Identifying Potential Predatory Publishers

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.

WORKSHOP: Digital Text Analysis

Digital text analysis creates opportunities for distant reading that discern patterns of word frequency, word collocations, and the emergence of new words, as a few examples. Participants in the workshop will receive an overview of digital text analysis concepts and terminology, as well as strategies for undertaking straightforward teaching assignments that incorporate accessible digital tools. Our principal tool of exploration will be Voyant Tools. Bring your thoughts, ideas, and queries to this interactive workshop.
