Abstract:
Over the last few years, unwanted emails daily fill the mailboxes of many scientists. Usually, they ask the recipient to send a paying article to a journal, generally with a deadline of two weeks. Now the time is coming to openly discuss and mention such kinds of demand and to name the journals behind them. The aim of this paper is thus to present, using some selected examples collected during five days (14-19 October, 2021), the dangers of responding to such a request and to specify the names of the journals concerned. Three otorhinolaryngological journals are particularly discussed: Journal of Otology and Rhinology, American Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, and Global Journal of Otolaryngology. In selecting some pertinent papers, it is easy to demonstrate that these three journals can easily be considered as predatory journals. Certainly, many other predatory, otorhinolaryngological journals exist. Hopefully, this paper will finally open a serious and scientific discussion about these predatory otorhinolaryngological journals, to definitively establish an available and valid list.
摘要:
在过去的几年里,不需要的电子邮件每天充斥着许多科学家的邮箱。通常,他们要求收件人向期刊发送付费文章,一般期限为两周。现在是时候公开讨论和提及这种需求,并命名它们背后的期刊了。因此,本文的目的是提出,使用五天(10月14日至19日,2021),响应此类请求并指定有关期刊名称的危险。特别讨论了三种耳鼻咽喉科杂志:耳科和鼻科杂志,美国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志,和全球耳鼻喉科杂志。在选择一些相关论文时,很容易证明这三种期刊很容易被视为掠夺性期刊。当然,许多其他掠夺性的,耳鼻喉科期刊存在。希望,本文最终将对这些掠夺性耳鼻咽喉科杂志进行认真而科学的讨论,以明确地建立一个可用和有效的列表。
