“…Most predatory journals are not indexed in library databases [38], however, some have been found in ProQuest Central, EBSCO Academic Search Complete, Gale Academic OneFile, Scopus, and have appeared in some databases more than others, including PubMed [1,32,34,39,40]. Predatory journals are also found in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) [38,39,41] and are frequently included in Google Scholar, likely because it is a web crawler, not an index [21,37,41]. The DOAJ has taken steps to reduce number of predatory journals in its listing [42].…”

“…Prostřednictvím naší služby jsme do konce ledna 2018 kontrolovali formální atributy časopisů, které vycházejí ze znaků predátorství sestavených Jeffrey Beallem (Beall, 2015a) Jak jsme ale uvedli již v úvodu, v nedávné minulosti byla publikována řada studií (Bagues et al, 2017;Macháček & Srholec, 2017;Shamseer et al, 2017;Somoza-Fernández et al, 2016) Elsevieru (Crawford, 2014), kontroverznímu zařazení časopisů od vydavatele Frontiers na jeho seznam (Bloudoff-Indelicato, 2015), či zevšeobecňujícímu uvažování o časopisech z rozvojových zemí jako predátorských (Berger & Cirasella, 2015). Nic to ale nemění na faktu, že nelze jednoduše obsah databází WoS, Scopus a MEDLINE PubMed používat jako ověřené whitelisty a že existuje reálné riziko zaslání článku do nevhodného časopisu.…”

“…A recent analysis of indexing of 944 apparently predatory journals revealed that only 9 (0.25%) are covered by the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database (36). Significantly more predatory journals (n = 28) are indexed by the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), which is visible in the Web of Science platform, and Scopus (n = 56).…”
