Abstract
Sanjay A Pai discussed an important problem in the academic world and warns researchers about predatory publishers [1]. Devnani and his colleagues believe that low-income countries must devote more resources and more researcher support to aid in dealing with predatory journals [2]. According to these Authors, predatory journals are not indexed journals or, at least, they lack reputable indexes (such as “PubMed” [3])................ .....................................................................................................................To solve the problem of this predatory practice, researchers should be wary of open-access journals that organize many special issues or that frequently employ guest editors for themed issues. In a less specific way, there are many potential unethical practices related to predatory journals, researchers need education and planning to confront them.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
