“…The evaluated articles have presented evidence levels classified as 5 (10,19,21,(23)(24)(25) and 4 (20,22) , which demonstrated that this matter has been discussed by authors with the intent of reflecting on these themes, exposing their opinions. On the other hand, two articles have used the descriptive method to discuss ethic scores in research and the editors' work.…”

Objective: to analyze scientific evidence available in health literature on ethics, standardization and biometric indicators. Method: an integrative review carried out in August 2016, on the databases: National Library of Medicine, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Latin-American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences), and on the library Scientific Electronic Library Online. The review included primary articles on: ethics, standardization and biometric indicators, in Portuguese, English, or Spanish; and excluded studies that were not found as full texts, as well as opinions, commentary, reviews, theses, and dissertations. For the evaluation of the articles, it was used evidence levels from one to five. Results: eight articles were included, with scientific evidence levels 4 and 5: scientific productivism, production evaluation systems, internationalization, impact factor, classification of journals, and adequate and inadequate practices for publication. Conclusion: it was verified the need for publications with higher evidence levels so that Brazilian journals can follow international standards dealing with research ethics.

“…These journals are dangerous as they infect the medical academia with unnecessary and potentially uncorrected publications. Gasparyan et al (2016b) suggest that one significant threat of these predatory journals is the large amount of wasteful and redundant published data that would have been rejected by more highly regarded/ established journals. It has also been suggested that some predatory publications do not follow the strict guidelines against plagiarism that preserve the integrity of medical research (Jansen and Forget, 2012).…”

Beware of the predatory science journal: A potential threat to the integrity of medical research

The issue of predatory journals has become increasingly more prevalent over the past decade, as the open-access model of publishing has gained prominence. Although the open-access model is well intentioned to increase accessibility of biomedical research, it is vulnerable to exploitation by those looking to corrupt medical academia and circumvent ethics and research standards. Predatory journals will achieve publication by either soliciting unsuspecting researchers who have legitimate research but fall victim to these predators or researchers looking to quickly publish their research without a thorough review process. Some features of predatory journals are a quick non-peer-review process, falsely listing or exaggerating the credibility of editorial board members, and either lack of or falsification of institutional affiliations and database listings. These predatory journals are a serious threat to the integrity of medical research, as they will infect the available literature with unsubstantiated articles, and allow low-quality research. A number of steps can be taken to prevent the spread and increase awareness of predatory publishers, and these must be done to maintain the integrity of medical academia. Clin.

“…Additionally, a group of software specialists, researchers and publishers developed a digital platform to match English manuscript titles and abstracts with relevant and trusted journals (https://www.journalguide.com/). Finally, experts from various professional backgrounds have publicized statements on the ‘pollution’ of the scientific evidence accumulation (2829) and proposed criteria of best target journals, which may sideline outlets with unethical publishing models (3031). …”

This article overviews unethical publishing practices in connection with the pressure to publish more. Both open-access and subscription publishing models can be abused by ‘predatory’ authors, editors, and publishing outlets. Relevant examples of ‘prolific’ scholars are viewed through the prism of the violation of ethical authorship in established journals and indiscriminately boosting publication records elsewhere. The instances of ethical transgressions by brokering editorial agencies and agents, operating predominantly in non-Anglophone countries, are presented to raise awareness of predatory activities. The scheme of predatory publishing activities is presented, and several measures are proposed to tackle the issue of predatory publishing. The awareness campaigns by professional societies, consultations with information facilitators, implementation of the criteria of best target journals, and crediting of scholars with use of integrative citation metrics, such as the h-index, are believed to make a difference.
