DESCRIPTION:Predatory journals threaten research integrity by imitating the
  signals of legitimate publishing\, yet little empirical work examines whe
 ther readers can reliably detect them or identify the cues driving credibi
 lity judgments. This ongoing experimental study investigates how individua
 ls evaluate scientific research when journal-level signals vary in legitim
 acy\, holding research content constant while manipulating journal labels.
  Participants assess perceived credibility\, trust\, and intended use of t
 he research\, alongside confidence in their evaluations and the heuristics
  when making judgments.\nAcross participants\, journal labels shape credib
 ility assessments\, with respondents relying on surface-level cues such as
  journal reputation\, citations\, and author credentials. The study is bei
 ng expanded to include members of the general public\, higher education\, 
 and journalists\, enabling comparison across audiences that play central r
 oles in consuming\, teaching\, and communicating research. Together\, this
  work aims to inform research-literacy interventions and improve how scien
 tific credibility is evaluated in expanding predatory publishing.
