"In my e-mail to others I would suggest that they examine http://fakejournals.blogspot.ca/ or Jeffry Beale's list of questionable publishers and organizations so that they could consider whether they want to attend events sponsored by these organizations. Also, I will advise them to read How to Get the Most Out of a Conference by Stephen Downes."
