The academic community has implemented several practices to reduce the impact and presence of predatory publishers (Zakout, 2020). These include:
- Implementing predatory publishing topics into undergraduate and graduate coursework. This increases awareness of the topic early in students' careers.
- Hosting discussions about predatory publishing in research centers, libraries, and academic development centers.
- Hiring an expert on the topic to assist students in avoiding predatory publishers.
- Excluding funds, promotions, and jobs that support predatory publishers.
