Writing a research paper is challenging enough, but the online world presents a number of potential land mines that could be damaging to your work and to your reputation. Predatory journals are a serious problem. Do you know what they are? Do you know how to identify and avoid them? Copyright infringement is another common problem. How do you know when something is copyright protected or when it is free to use? Website credibility is yet another problem. Special interest groups spend a lot of money to further their causes by creating websites that appear credible and unbiased but are, in fact, uncredible, and biased. How can you spot these sites? This presentation hopes to provide some useful tools for identifying some problematic online issues that will ultimately result in better research.

Presented by Jeff Teitelbaum, Forensic Research Librarian for the Global Forensic and Justice Center.
