This is the first study to investigate predatory publishing through anempirical social science lens and our results suggest that there are quantifiable linguistic andmeta-linguistic indicators that can, to some degree, distinguish between predatory publishers andthose journals that seek to publish honestly.Introduction In recent years, the rise of scientific misconduct has drawn attention to the “publish orperish” mentality consuming academia, which highlights a drive for researchers to publish earlyand often in their career.3 The pressure to publish regularly can tamper with the quality ofresearch and

objective of this session is to review and emphasize concepts that are important to developing safety-critical and secure embedded systems.4. Embedded Systems Research: This is a non-traditional UnLecture where the focus is on academic research experience rather than industry experience. Undergraduate students will be teamed with graduate students for this exercise, and the graduate students will serve as session moderators. In the retrospective phase, the emphasis will be on topics such as developing a research hypothesis, experimental methods, industry jobs versus research careers, and examples of graduate research projects in embedded systems. In the examination phase, students will present examples of how classroom learning aids

Faculty proposed large-scalerenovations of a specific undergraduate course or closely-related group of courses, with the goalof improving student engagement, learning outcomes, and faculty teaching experiences.Alternatively, faculty could propose to develop teaching technologies that would facilitate theimplementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Priority in funding was given to projectsthat would impact large numbers of students or provide critical interventions early in students’learning careers.“Live deep, not fast,” is an admonition coined in the early 1900’s by literature professor, critic,and editor Henry Seidel Canby 1.
