BEWARE!
• I am writing to seek for an advise for my friend. He was a
victim of a hijacked journal. The name of the journal is
XXXXXXXX Review. He paid US$600 as an APC. He later
learned that the journal is a hijacked journal. He has emailed
the journal requesting to retract the paper and to possibly
refund the publication fee. However, until now, he got no
response.
Worried?
If you are concerned about a journal
If you are concerned about a journal
• CHECK:
– Medline
– PubMed
– Clarivate
– Emerging Sources Citation Index
– Scopus
– Directory of Open Access Journals
Predatory Publishing Quick Check
Has the publisher started dozens of new open access
titles all at once?
Do the published titles have very few papers (if any)?
Does the publisher send emails asking for manuscript
submissions or to serve on editorial board?
Does the publisher fail to disclose the
names/qualifications of
editorial board members or editors?
Is the publisher’s address NOT verifiable?
Is there very little evidence of peer review?
