Quality scientific communication is key to the effectiveness of scientific research. After creating a scientific paper through scientific research, it is further evaluated and shared with other scientists. Based on these scientific papers, other scientists create new knowledge through new scientific papers. There is also a lot of pressure on scientists to publish papers. In the academic world, there is a certain pressure on scientists to publish the latest research as much and as often as possible. On the one hand, scientists are forced to publish a lot of papers (quantity), while on the other hand, they are required to have as much impact as possible (qual ity). Although the authors of a certain scientific field are familiar with scientific publishing in their field, the emergence of new journals makes it difficult to choose in which journal to publish their work and where a significant problem is created by the so-called predatory journals. The paper will provide an overview of indicators that can help in the selection of journals and how predatory journals can be identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
