Abstract

This article was conceived to crave the indulgence of scholars and academics in Nigerian higher education system to the menace of cyber hijack journals, pretending to be outlets indexed in Thomson Reuters and Impact Factor Ranked Journals by SCImago. As a descriptive article, secondary data were used to identify the current list of these dubious journals and several ways of identifying them in order to avoid them for publication. The study also presented challenges of engaging in such outlets for scholarly works. Lastly, the study concluded on the best way of discouraging scholars from patronizing hijack journals.
