Abstract

Abstract Predatory journals are continuing to expand across disciplines and target researchers via different media such as websites and spam emails to potential authors. While multiple studies have described characteristics of predatory journals, less research has been on done on authors’ perceptions of and experiences with predatory journals. In this paper, by using a data science approach, we developed a tool that analyzes the content of social media and summarizes what users (authors) have shared about predatory journals. This tool is useful in understanding the current concerns of researchers about predatory journals and examining current activities of these journals.

PedCheck:一个分析掠夺性期刊的社交媒体帖子的仪表板

摘要掠夺性期刊正在继续跨学科扩展，并通过不同的媒体（如网站和向潜在作者发送垃圾邮件）瞄准研究人员。虽然多项研究描述了掠夺性期刊的特征，但对作者对掠夺性期刊看法和经历的研究较少。在这篇论文中，通过使用数据科学方法，我们开发了一种工具，分析社交媒体的内容，并总结用户（作者）对掠夺性期刊的分享。该工具有助于了解研究人员目前对掠夺性期刊的担忧，并检查这些期刊的当前活动。
