Predatory publishing: What authors need to know

A few weeks after becoming the editor of this journal, I was surprised to receive an offer via an e-mail to publish an article on any topic of my choosing in a nursing journal. I thought that was rather odd, so I went to the website of the publication as the name was unfamiliar to me. Although I was an inexperienced editor, I was an experienced consumer of nursing journals, and I immediately realized that something was wrong. The site was poorly constructed, there was no information about the journal's editor or editorial board, it lacked contact information and, most surprising, the narrative was filled with spelling and grammatical errors.
