Can explain these spammy emails from publication agencies who want to feature my academic articles? I've been told this this a scam, but I'm not sure how -- do they charge money to do this? Is this related to the dreaded ?

As far as I'm concerned, if some publication wants to write a feature based on one of my publications... go for it. You don't need to contact me about it.

@rwg @academicchatter not sure more than that! I get the mails and my adviser told me that so I just delete them. My research is getting a lot of focus so I get loads ATM, including pretending to be a particularly fav journal

@rwg @academicchatter I generally assume anyone asking me to publish there is a lying scammer, except those who know me personally
