"In the world of academia, getting published in an international research
journal is almost the holy grail, it helps bump up the CV for hiring and
helps in the competition for tenure or promotion. It takes rigorous
research, an original contribution, exhaustive peer or expert reviews, and
dogged persistence.

"But then, there’s also an easy way — pay and publish.

"An investigation by The Indian Express shows that India has emerged as one
of the biggest markets for a business in which over 300 publishers manage
what are called “predatory journals” that claim to be international and
publish papers for a listed “charge” or “fee” that ranges from $30-$1,800
per piece."
