Abstract
With the increasing number of predatory publishers that involves charging publication fees to authors without providing proper peer-review or editorial refereeing to qualify papers for publication; The need for a web-based system that involves the participation of authors and researchers in reporting such publishers is becoming a must.
In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a web-based system for reporting predatory publishers. The system utilizes crowdsourcing to populate its database of predatory publishers. Also, the system helps researchers avoid the pitfall of publishing their research work in untrustworthy venues. Finally, the system provides browser add-ons (for Chrome and Firefox) to seamlessly notify researchers while browsing the web of predatory publishers' websites.
