How Can the Scientific Community Address the Issue?
The scientific community can take several measures to combat the proliferation of spam conferences:
Raise Awareness: Educate young researchers about the dangers of spam conferences. Develop Guidelines: Institutions and professional bodies can develop guidelines to help identify reputable conferences. Promote Quality: Encourage participation in well-established conferences and promote open access but reputable journals. Institutional Support: Institutions can support researchers by covering fees only for vetted conferences and journals.
