Abstract

The main objective of the present paper is to introduce some features of
fake/bogus conferences and some viable approaches to differentiate them from the
real ones. These fake/bogus conferences introduce themselves as international
conferences, which are multidisciplinary and indexed in major scientific digital
libraries. Furthermore, most of the fake/bogus conference holders offer publishing
the accepted papers in ISI journals and use other techniques in their advertisement
e-mails.
