Abstract

Abstract:Since the emergence of the internet and open science in the 1990s, "predatory journals," or "predatory publishing," have attracted the increasing attention of scholars. Research on the topic has grown at a rapid rate, particularly in the last five years. This article serves as the first bibliometric review on the topic of "predators in the scientific publication" and draws on 869 published articles from the Scopus database between 2012 and 30 March 2022. These papers were produced by a total of 1586 authors, coming from 101 countries, representing 1538 organizations, and published in 501 journals. Research disciplines mostly covered the fields of medicine, social sciences, and nursing. This study also reveals the complexity of issues and research trends around the topic of predatory scientific publications, including the review process for scientific journals, publication fees and article processing charges, open science and open-access publications, and the like and related topics such as the impact on scholars in developing countries and academic ethics. Finally, this article provides several recommendations, namely, the need for more efficient criteria to evaluate the quality of scientific journals, more public communication on the importance of ethics in research and publication, and a greater awareness among scholars and organizations of the implications of the "predator" issue in scientific publishing.
2012 - 2022年Scopus数据库掠夺性科学出版物研究综述
摘要:自20世纪90年代互联网和开放科学出现以来,“掠夺性期刊”或“掠夺性出版”越来越受到学者们的关注。关于这一主题的研究增长迅速,特别是在过去五年中。本文是第一篇关于“科学出版物中的捕食者”主题的文献计量学综述,并从2012年至2022年3月30日期间从Scopus数据库中提取了869篇已发表的文章。这些论文由来自101个国家、1538个组织的1586位作者撰写,发表在501个期刊上。研究学科主要涵盖医学、社会科学、护理学等领域。本研究还揭示了掠夺性科学出版物主题的复杂性和研究趋势,包括科学期刊的评审过程、出版费用和文章处理费、开放科学和开放获取出版物等,以及对发展中国家学者的影响和学术伦理等相关主题。最后,本文提出了几点建议,即需要更有效的标准来评估科学期刊的质量,更多地就研究和出版中的伦理重要性进行公众沟通,以及提高学者和组织对科学出版中“掠夺者”问题的影响的认识。

期刊介绍: For more than 40 years, the Journal of Scholarly Publishing has been the authoritative voice of academic publishing. The journal combines philosophical analysis with practical advice and aspires to explain, argue, discuss, and question the large collection of new topics that continually arise in the publishing field. JSP has also examined the future of scholarly publishing, scholarship on the web, digitization, copyright, editorial policies, computer applications, marketing, and pricing models. It is the indispensable resource for academics and publishers that addresses the new challenges resulting from changes in technology and funding and from innovations in production and publishing.
