Description
Summary:Predatory journals have inadequate checks and balances from the point of view of peer review. [...]poorly performed science may get the stamp of approval and may lead to further research of poorer quality. While many are quality journals with sound editorial practices, effective peer review, and scientific merit, it can often be difficult for a researcherauthor to evaluate these factors. 'Since 2005, PMC has been the designated repository for papers submitted in accordance with the NIH Public Access Policy. [...]author manuscripts in PMC, and subsequently PubMed, may be from journals that have not yet undergone scientific review by NLM, are traditionally out of scope for the NLM collection, or have not met NLM's standards for PMC. Year after year, the pollution in Delhi during Diwali and the Delhi smog due to fire crackers, crop burning and ever-increasing industrial and vehicular emissions is crossing dangerous levels as per the Central Pollution Control Board air quality index bulletin.
