The World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology or WASET is a predatory publisher[1] of a number of open access journals on a wide variety of scientific and technical subjects. It also organizes hundreds of scientific conferences a year, using names that are the same of similar to real conferences organized by established scientific groups. The conferences are low-quality and anyone can present a paper by simply paying the registration fee.[2]

The academy has been listed as a "potential, possible, or probable" predatory publisher.[3] Indeed, one of their journals accepted an obviously fake article in a sting operation.[4]

WASET is based in Turkey and its domain name is registered in Azerbaijan.[5] It is run by Cemal Ardil, a former science teacher, with assistance from his daughter Ebru and his son Bora. Cemal Ardil is also the person who has published the most articles on the WASET website.[6]
