What is a predatory (fake) journal?

How to identify and avoid predatory journals
This video explains the characteristics of predatory journals, how to spot them and why it is important to avoid these journal.
.
Predatory publishing, or more rarely write-only publishing or deceptive publishing , is an exploitative, and typically open-access, academic publishing business model that involves charging publications fees (also known as article processing charges, or APCs) to authors without checking articles for quality and legitimacy and without providing the other editorial and publishing services associated with legitimate journals (open access or not). The idea that they are "predatory" is based on the view that academics are tricked into publishing with them, though some authors may be aware that the journal is poor quality or even fraudulent. New scholars from developing countries are said to be especially at risk of being misled by predatory practices.
