Abstract：
Open-access publishing promotes accessibility to scholarly research at no cost to the reader. The emergence of predatory publishers, which exploit the author-pay model by charging substantial publication fees for publication in journals with questionable publishing processes, is on the rise. Authors are solicited through aggressive marketing tactics, though who is targeted is not well described. The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics associated with critical care pharmacists that make them targets of unsolicited invitations to publish. A prospective, observational study of critical care pharmacists was performed. Participants archived emails received by their professional email that were unsolicited invitations to submit their original work for publication in a journal (unsolicited journals). Variables were evaluated to determine which were associated with unsolicited invitations; these were compared to legitimate journals, defined as all PubMed-indexed journals in which the participants were previously published. Twenty-three pharmacist participants were included, all of whom were residency and/or fellowship trained and practicing in an academic medical center. Participants had a median of 7 years of experience since their post-graduate training, 6 years since their last change in professional email address, and 2 years since their first PubMed-indexed publication. From these participants, 136 unsolicited and 59 legitimate journals were included. The average number of invitations increased 1.04 (95% CI, 1.02-1.05) times for every additional PubMed-indexed publication (P < .001). Most unsolicited journals were considered predatory. Legitimate and unsolicited journals differed significantly. The number of previous PubMed-indexed publications strongly correlates with the likelihood of critical care pharmacists receiving unsolicited publication invitations, often from predatory journal.
摘要：
开放获取出版促进了读者免费获得学术研究的可访问性。掠夺性出版商的出现，他们利用作者付费模式，对出版过程有问题的期刊收取大量出版费用，正在上升。作者是通过积极的营销策略来征求的，尽管没有很好地描述谁是目标。这项研究的目的是确定与重症监护药剂师相关的特征，使他们成为未经请求的邀请发表的目标。一个潜在的，进行了重症监护药师的观察性研究.参与者存档了他们的专业电子邮件收到的电子邮件，这些电子邮件是未经请求的邀请，邀请他们提交他们的原创作品在期刊（未经请求的期刊）上发表。对变量进行了评估，以确定哪些与未经请求的邀请相关；将这些与合法期刊进行了比较，定义为参与者先前发表的所有PubMed索引期刊。包括23名药剂师参与者，所有这些人都是在学术医疗中心接受培训和实习的住院医师和/或奖学金。自研究生培训以来，参与者的经验中位数为7年，自他们上次更改专业电子邮件地址以来的6年，和2年以来他们的第一个PubMed索引出版物。从这些参与者，其中包括136种未经请求的期刊和59种合法期刊。每增加一次PubMed索引出版物，邀请的平均数量增加了1.04（95％CI，1.02-1.05）倍（P<.001）。大多数未经请求的期刊被认为是掠夺性的。合法期刊和未经请求的期刊差异很大。以前PubMed索引出版物的数量与重症监护药剂师收到未经请求的出版物邀请的可能性密切相关。通常来自掠夺性杂志。
