BE AWARE:

• Peer reviewed scholarly journal articles have been retracted after being published due to plagiarism, incomplete or false data. Visit the Retraction Watch website for further information and cases.
• Double check with your advisor and committee on which reference citing format you should use.
•  You only cite what you have actually read in your dissertation/thesis.
• ​During your last year at RIT and after you graduate you will be contacted by dubious predatory publishers not recommended by your professional associations. There is a new site to check for predatory journals at https://predatoryjournals.com/journals/

•  Fake conferences, predatory publishers are examples of having to doublecheck your sources.  Example 29 minutes German video (with English subtitles) highlights a fake conference. Bogus science has been used by people with severe illnesses, desperately looking for cures.  This  video starts with an example https://www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/dokus/videos/exclusiv-im-ersten-fake-science-die-luegenmacher-englische-version-video-100.html
