It is not uncommon these days to receive an e-mail to attend a 'world class conference', publish one's research in an 'international journal' or more so, be its editor/member of the editorial board. To be invited is to be considered honourable enough to be fit for the occasion and welcoming it with gratitude is the mark of one's humbleness. But in today's world where a man's motives are driven by his intense and selfish desires, it is imperative not to embrace all invites with open hands. Predatory journals are a coterie of vultures who prey on the researchers, via an invitation and the ignorant researchers, like a flock of sheep happily walk into their trap to be preyed upon.Full Text

Bioterrorism is a realistic threat to the security and well-being of all countries. Significant legal and biodefence measures must be taken to prevent the production and use of deadly biological weapons. Previous bioterror incidences, dense population and congenial climatic conditions of India, make it vulnerable to bioterrorism threats. This review provides a comprehensive picture of the potential biothreats to the country, the existing laws and policies to counteract such incidences with a strong need for their implementation, and biodefence strategies for preparedness and protection, to make India a bioterror free nation.Keywords

We evoke the above famous quote as we write this communication on the peer review system in research publications. Research is an essential aspect of scientific growth, and more importantly, it is for all to share their work and novel ideas through publication, irrespective of their associations and affiliations to ensure wide dissemination of scientific observations.Full Text
