In recent years, predatory journals have become an international challenge for scholarly communication. The only aim of these journals is making money through publishing papers. They do not have any review process and publish papers only if their author has paid the requested fee. To convince researchers in paying the fee, predatory journals call themselves open access. These journals use fake impact factors in their websites and that makes it hard to identify them. Publishing in these journals does not bring any credit for its author. In fact, it has a negative impact in reputation of those authors. The high number of papers from Iranians published in those journals is a sign of lack of awareness among Iranian scholars about predatory journals. The present paper describes the characteristics of predatory journals and offers ways by which researchers can distinguish them. Also, some tools have been introduced to help authors evaluate scholarly journals and choose a suitable journal for their paper publication.
