<p>This study focused on how YouTube plays a crucial role in raising awareness of predatory publishing, which is currently a major concern in the fields of research and scholarly communication. In this investigation, the raw metadata of YouTube Videos were retrieved using the Webometric Analyst software. For this study, a total of 432 videos and 1932 comments were gathered and examined. RStudio and MS Excel were used for data analysis. The results indicate that the majority of videos, 93, or 21.53%, were released in 2021, and the majority, 28.92%, were about identifying predatory journals among other publications. According to the sentiment analysis, 28.18 percent of the comments were positive, indicating that most viewers were happy with the available videos. Although YouTube covered the most of the topics related to predatory publishing, there are some regions where relatively few videos have been posted; therefore, content providers should concentrate on these areas in order to draw in more viewers.</p>
