Abstract

Purpose: Hijacked journals are journals managed by cybercriminals that mimic the original journal and publish manuscripts without peer review, charging a fee to the author. Although there is literature on hijacked journals, there is a gap in the content of published papers in the hijacked journals. This study aims to analyze the content of published papers in hijacked journals to assess their alignment with various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Methods: About 21 medicine journals have been investigated and about 3300 published manuscripts in them analyzed in terms of SDGs using the text-based analyzing method.

Results: The findings indicated that published manuscripts fit in the categories of SDG 01, SDG 03, SDG 11, and SDG 16 where SDG-03 is most dominant.

Conclusion: The awareness about the problem of hijacked journals is critical, especially for developing countries, to eliminate the negative effects of these journals. It is the first research that discusses the negative effect of hijacked journals by considering SDGs and sheds light on the phenomenon.

揭露洗绿：将被劫持的医学期刊映射到可持续发展目标。

目的：被劫持的期刊是由网络罪犯管理的期刊，他们模仿原始期刊，在没有同行评审的情况下发表手稿，向作者收取费用。虽然有关于被劫持期刊的文献，但在被劫持期刊上发表的论文内容上存在空白。本研究旨在分析被劫持期刊上发表的论文内容，以评估其与各种可持续发展目标（sdg）的一致性。方法：采用基于文本的分析方法，对21种医学期刊进行调查，并对其中发表的约3300篇论文进行sdg分析。结果：研究结果表明，已发表稿件符合SDG 01、SDG 03、SDG 11和SDG 16类别，其中SDG-03占主导地位。结论：对劫持期刊问题的认识对于消除这些期刊的负面影响至关重要，特别是对发展中国家而言。这是第一次考虑到可持续发展目标，讨论被劫持期刊的负面影响，并揭示了这一现象。
