Awareness of predatory publishing
Year: 2020
Type: letter
Abstract: Scientific open-access publishing for dissemination of research studies has resulted in numerous internet-based journals, referred to as predatory journals. These journals have lax peer review standards, accept studies of poor quality and have no proper indexing of the published manuscripts. Richtig et al1 observed that only 70% of 188 oncologists in Germany and Austria reported an understanding of predatory journals. However, even if they claimed to know about predatory journals, they may not be able to recognise one.
