A recent study conducted by researchers at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in Kerala, India, has shed light on the deceptive practices of predatory journals. The study analyzed three datasets of calls for papers from potential predatory journals and legitimate journals using text mining and programming language. The researchers found that most potential predatory journals use similar language and templates in their calls for papers, often using flattering and positive words that are rarely seen in emails from legitimate journals. Based on these findings, the researchers developed a toolkit for detecting unsolicited calls for papers from potential predatory journals. This research provides valuable insights and tools for distinguishing between predatory and legitimate journals, ultimately helping researchers deal with predatory journals more effectively.

2021 was the first year in which US multinationals abroad spent more on R&D in services than in manufacturing. This reflects a fundamental shift in the R&D activities of US MNEs, and in our perceptions of R&D internationalization. Information, software, business, and scientific services have displaced automotive or pharmaceuticals as the main R&D investing industries. This shift also changes the relative importance of host countries; the European Union, with its specialization on manufacturing, is losing ground against Asian economies, but also other OECD countries.
