Use Think.Check.Submit to evaluate a publisher

For those who are in the process of selecting a publisher, or want to review the publisher of other research, Think.Check.Submit for books and journals offer process guides for evaluation to determine whether or not a publisher is engaging in predatory practices. They provide a more nuanced and transparent approach than relying on a “whitelist” or “blacklist” by guiding you through a checklist of various factors which may take on different importance, depending on individual circumstances.
