This examination is meant to help IJME readers better understand the exploitative intentions of these nefarious entities and to recognize some common features in their communications and websites in order to avoid them. It is emphasized that the ultimate responsibility for publishing in legitimate journals lies with the authors themselves. Due diligence in carefully examining journal websites and publications can help authors evaluate journal credibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
