Nowadays, the scholarly community faces an increasing number of invitations to present at or attend conferences. Some of these are respectable, academic events, while others are misleading, exaggerated or even fake.
Think. Check. Attend. is an initiative that aims to guide and assist researchers and scholars to judge the legitimacy and academic credentials of conferences in order to help them decide whether to or not attend the same.
The tool provides guidelines that help researchers to differentiate between an authentic conference and the one they should avoid. It helps scholars to recognize the characteristics of a trusted conference to attend and submit their abstracts through several steps and a check list.
