South China Sea: Emerging Scenario Conference

Here’s a conference venue with which IDAS has a long history: it’s in Tirupati, India. This year (24-26 July) the focus is on the South China Sea, so hopefully many of you will be interested.

Here is the call for papers:

and here is the main portal.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers,

Beall’s List

Since all IDAS students have to publish, and there are a number of predatory publishing mills out there taking advantage, I thought I would share this website which lists dodgy journals:

List of publishers

If you ever get approached (mostly via email) by a publisher offering to publish your latest conference paper, then hit delete. At least look them up on this list.

Hint: these days the ones I see still use a few dozen font colours — a good hint they are not operating at the height of professionalism. But they’ll wise-up before long and get better at hiding themselves.

So be careful out there!

Cheers,

Dean

 

UPDATE: The original site has been taken down for mysterious reasons, but for the time being at least, here is an Internet archive snapshot of the list from Dec 2016:
