https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338013901_Supporting_Virtual_Reality_and_3D_in_Academic_Libraries_Defining_Preservation_and_Curation_Challenges

an interdisciplinary group of librarians and researchers from Virginia Tech, Indiana University,
and the University of Oklahoma convened to develop a series of three national forums on this topic, funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), as a project titled Developing Library Strategy for 3D and Virtual Reality Collection Development and Reuse (LIB3DVR) [8]

in addition to these ethical and legal concerns, there are also intellectual property issues identified that could impact how VR content is used in the future.

3. Participants identified a range of possible preservation strategies for dealing with these challenges and preservation considerations. Selection and documentation were seen as important activities for ensuring the long-term preservation of 3D/VR content.

Manuscript Submission Invitations from ‘Predatory Journals’: What Should Authors Do?

https://www.academia.edu/53548818/Manuscript_Submission_Invitations_from_Predatory_Journals_What_Should_Authors_Do

Credible journals do not chase authors and send article sub-mission invitations, rather authors look for them.

Course contents of the undergraduate and postgraduatecurriculums need to include mechanisms of checking the authenticity of a journal, credibility of the metrics and whether the journal is indexed in reputable databases such as MEDLINE,PubMed or Web of Science.
