Discussion
Assertion (A) : The entire scholarly publishing system is in danger of eroding due to increasing influence of predatory publishing.
Reason (R) : Many prey on Junior researchers and graduate students with personalised messages praising their earlier work and inviting them to submit a new manuscript.
Codes :
Answer: D
Both (A) and (R) are true.
Predatory publishing, in which journals charge fees with little or no peer review, threatens the credibility of scholarly literature. Predatory publishers solicit junior researchers and graduate students by e-mail, with flattering personalised messages inviting submissions, which is the Reason. The Reason describes how predatory publishers work.
Options calling either statement false disagree with the key.
