The primary objective of the study was to identify practicable and effective interventions that can curb and help combat the concerning rise in predatory journals and conferences, and provide recommendations to key stakeholder communities to this effect.

[...] Inform their students, researchers and faculty of the reality and consequences of predatory journals and conferences.
