Red flags to help you spot phishing emails from predatory journals

Predatory journals remain a persistent threat to research integrity, and their first point of contact is often an unsolicited email.

In this article, the author examines how phishing emails are used to lure researchers into submitting work to deceptive journals that prioritise profit over peer review.

Drawing on years of real examples, the article sets out 20 practical red flags that can help researchers distinguish legitimate journal communication from predatory tactics.

What to look for

  • Targeting scholarly email accounts: Predatory journals frequently harvest contact details from published papers or institutional profiles to target researchers directly.
  • Inclusion of your publication title: Referencing a recent paper may appear personalised but usually reflects automated data scraping from databases.
  • Excessive flattery and praise: Overblown compliments are used to manipulate confidence and create a false sense of recognition.
  • Urgent requests for submission or response: Pressure to reply or submit quickly aims to discourage careful evaluation.
  • Claims of repeated contact attempts: Assertions of prior unanswered emails often lack evidence and are designed to create obligation.
  • Promises of unusually fast publication: Timelines of days or weeks typically signal minimal or absent peer review.
  • Submissions via email or social media: Requests to submit manuscripts outside secure online systems raise concerns about data security.
  • Use of unprofessional communication channels: References to messaging apps or online chats suggest weak editorial infrastructure.
  • Requests for payment before peer review: Fees demanded before review contradict standard academic publishing practices.
  • Lack of transparent policies: Vague references to unspecified rules obscure author rights, costs, and processes.
  • Use of an ISSN to imply legitimacy: An ISSN is administrative only and does not indicate quality or ethical standards.
  • DOI assignment as a credibility signal: DOIs can be obtained easily and do not confirm peer review or integrity.
  • Claims of database indexing: Assertions about indexing should be independently verified, as some platforms apply no quality filters.
  • APC waivers or steep discounts: Fee waivers may be used to pressure quick decisions.
  • Dubious impact factors or metrics: Unverifiable or invented metrics are commonly used to mimic reputable journal indicators.

Also see Predatory publishing: A to Z elements, produced by the Australian Government's Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). This is a handy list outlining some of the ways that you can tell whether the journal you are considering is legitimate.

AMA report: 2026 Public hospital report card

The report presents state and territory performance results for public hospital capacity, emergency department waiting times and planned surgery waiting times; as well as public hospital expenditure.

It shows Australia's public hospitals are continuing to struggle under sustained pressure. The report also outlines the expected impact of additional federal government funding in the new National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA).

Key findings

  • Overall performance remains significantly worse than it was ten years ago, reflecting the impact of growing demand.
  • Modest improvements in some areas, including a small reduction in the median wait time for planned surgery and an increase in the total number of public hospital beds.
  • The proportion of patients completing their emergency department visit within four hours has fallen again to the lowest level on record.
  • A persistent capacity shortfall is at the heart of declining performance. Although more beds have been added in recent years, population growth has offset these gains.
  • It is unclear whether additional federal government funding in the NHRA would be enough to reverse the decline in performance.

Search Tip: Explode thesaurus term to increase results

Expand your search by using explode on the thesaurus term to include that term plus narrower terms in your search results.

For example, in Ovid Medline, a search using the MeSH term “asthma” alone (asthma/) retrieves a large result set. Exploding that term (exp asthma/) retrieves many more results.

These results now include the narrower terms: asthma, aspirin-induced; asthma, exercise-induced; asthma, occupational; and status asthmaticus.

You can chose to include some or all the different types of asthma. Don’t explode if the narrower terms are irrelevant.

Explode can be applied to a thesaurus term only, never to a keyword.

Library performance statistics, 2025

We perform many tasks in our role as the link between information and its application in patient care, education and research

Where possible we measure these tasks to ensure our time and money is spent in the right areas.

Here's how the numbers stack up for just some of our activities in 2025:

  • Responded to 2,055 enquiries.
  • Loaned out 184 items from our collection,  down from 2024, most likely due to an increase in online resource usage.
  • Supplied 202 articles to other libraries.
  • Provided 200 articles or book chapters to campus staff. Of these, 90% were delivered on the same day; 8% were delivered the next day. The remaining 2% of requests were delivered between two to four days.
  • Conducted 826 one-on-one literature searches … a 10% increase on 2024; that's around three per working day. We also ran 41 formal group Training sessions.
  • Clocked up 50,271 database searches, as campus staff and students researched Medline, CINAHL, and other databases.
  • Welcomed 120,408 visits to the Library … a huge increase on 2024, with staff and students seeking our expertise face to face, accessing print collections, and using Library facilities such as computers and workspace.
  • Managed online journal and book collections … where we saw a 52% increase in eBook access reaching 64,798 chapter downloads. Online journal access reached 404,537 full text article downloads including Open Access.
  • Managed 1,610 OpenAthens accounts … which were logged into 25,351 times to access the Library's online resources from outside the RCH network.
  • Saved RCH researchers €24,642 and US$4,990 (and MCRI researchers €8,770 and US$5,096) in Open Access publishing fees, enabling their research to be made available openly.

Tsunami in the head- better understanding and coping with burnout / Rebecca Petersen. Springer 2025
Burnout remains a current and socially relevant issue, especially in the education sector, yet it is rarely openly discussed. It is often accompanied by feelings of shame and guilt, depending on the individual. Everyone has their own perception of what burnout is—but does this perception truly reflect reality? And if so, why does burnout seem to affect so many people unnoticed?

The author aims to change this situation with her book and the approaches it offers for organizations, teams, leaders, consultants, as well as those affected and their families and friends. She seeks to foster a new awareness of social responsibility. In doing so, she builds a bridge to a new perspective on resilience and health, providing an active contribution to prevention and education. Her book offers accessible and approachable insights into a serious topic, enabling an open and healthy approach to this complex, insidious, and life-altering condition.

Unravelling workplace culture in healthcare: a guide for practitioners to explore, understand and change / Lauren Philp-von Woyna. Springer, 2025
This book explores the factors that create or sustain a toxic or problematic workplace culture in the healthcare sector, and what can be done about it at the individual level. It aims to equip healthcare workers with the knowledge and understanding to challenge the social and cultural practices that contribute to health inequalities and poor healthcare experiences.

Throughout the book, examples of problematic practices are unravelled and new perspectives are provided from a wide range of cultural and creative studies, socio-cultural research and educational theories to enable an understanding of the behaviours and factors that support problematic workplace culture in the healthcare sector. It develops individual insight about system politics and hierarchy as well as power dynamics and normative roles in healthcare, and highlights how inequalities are created and maintained for both patients and staff.

This book is aimed at healthcare professionals, including nurses, midwives, doctors, policymakers, researchers and health students who wish to engage in practical, personal and professional development that contributes to creating a positive healthcare work culture.
