“…Another very important discussion topic is the question of whether it is possible for an academic librarian to show human emotions during communications with a publishing author, and to what extent academic librarians can be emotional in their advice and recommendations, and even if it is acceptable to have emotion-enhanced interpersonal communication. The recently published librarian's communications by Quinn, 2002;Stover, 2004;Pope et al, 2012;McCaffrey, 2016;Beall, 2017;Swauger, 2017;Beall, 2018, clearly show that successful academic librarians are supposed to be professional, hard working, initiative, author-centered, psychologically-friendly (Quinn, 2002;Stover, 2004;Pope et al, 2012;McCaffrey, 2016) and creatively emotional (Beall, 2017;Swauger, 2017;Beall, 2018).…”

This didactic instructional article presents an original educational approach, directed toward the improvement of existing university curriculum using effective and studentfriendly teaching of fundamentals of modern scientific research for graduate and undergraduate students, emphasizing scientometrics and integrity. This approach applies to students majoring in a wide range of basic and applied academic specializations in the various branches of science, engineering, computation and technology. The present methodological paper provides a novel, humanized and student-centered way of presenting a comprehensive and unified didactic explanation of originally narrated instructional material, which is based on the adaptation, generalization and creative re-thinking of the previous ten years of the author's publishing experience. This experience has been in Scopus®-and SCIE WoS® Core Collection-indexed referred academic periodicals. The proposed learning material has found a full-scale educational approbation for a widely-targeted audience of full-time young bachelor-, M. Sc.-and Ph. D.-students as well as distant adult students, university faculties, scientific researchers, college instructors and engineering staff. ). These entities are integral parts of the advanced international researchand-development (R&D) community. These people are key stakeholders in publishing their research in wellindexed and well-known prestigious scientific journals. Today modern universities should make their best efforts to ensure the formation and development of a student's practical multidisciplinary knowledge and skills in order to prepare creatively-thinking specialists with recognizable specialized higher education diplomas who can manage to operate with constantly growing information flows and who are sufficiently qualified to run their own experimental or theoretical research, report the results of their studies in their own manuscripts and publish their own research articles in the properly-indexed scientific journals and conference proceedings.

“…2,4 It is generally assumed that most of the predatory journals and publishers operate from developing countries of Asia and Africa. 4,5 Therefore, it is important to address this topic from a developing country perspective. This editorial is an attempt to create awareness in readership of the Journal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan, particularly Pakistani researchers, about the menace of predatory publishing.…”
