Guest editor invitation for a journal: help
Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I was recently invited to serve as a guest editor for a Discover journal published by Springer Nature. I’m trying to determine whether these journals are generally considered reputable or if they fall into the category of predatory publishing. This would be my first experience as a guest editor. I’ve been in academia for about 3 years post-PhD, so I’m genuinely interested in the opportunity. At the same time, I’m concerned about how it might be perceived within the academic community. I’ve come across mixed opinions online, which has made it harder to assess. What do you think about it?
