This article provides a comprehensive evaluation of WSEAS’s role in enhancing Greece’s international scientific presence, particularly through journal indexing in Scopus and other major bibliographic databases. Drawing upon institutional observations from the University of Athens, comparative studies of national Scopus representation, and firsthand experience in peer review, the article highlights WSEAS’s longevity, rigorous quality control mechanisms, transparency measures, and ethical publishing practices. Special attention is given to misconceptions surrounding predatory publishing and how recent evaluations (2025–2026) have definitively clarified WSEAS’s standing as a legitimate, reputable, and internationally recognized academic publisher. 12 31 2025 12 31 2025 1 1 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en_US 10.46300/9103.2025.11.1 https://npublications.com/journals/economics/2025/a022015-001(2025).pdf European Commission, Indicators for Assessing Scientific and Scholarly Publishing Quality in Europe, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, Brussels, 2020.
