Predatory source
Hi User:Keavenyh21, I noticed that "Rethinking the Bullet Theory in the Digital Age" by Nwabueze, Chinenye and Okonkwo, Ebere (2018) is from a predatory publisher, and usage is deprecated. It was automatically edit-tagged (see filters) as a predatory publication (and therefore unreliable source). ARC Journals shows up on Beall's list of predatory publishers, and likely does not conduct peer review, which makes the material unreliable due to effectively being self-published, like a blog. See also WP:CITEWATCH) and the Reliable sources/Perennial sources noticeboard history if you wish to check the reliability of a publisher or journal.

If you want to stay ahead of these problems, consider installing the Unreliable/Predatory Source Detector (UPSD) (a user script), which automatically highlights suspicious citations.

I have removed the citation, though it's probably best to also remove the material that came from it, unless you can find a reliable reference to back it up. If you're sure it's true but cannot source it at the moment, a citation needed tag might be appropriate, though you may be the most qualified person to find the right sources.

Good luck, and sorry for the extra work. --Anon423 (talk) 17:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
