Predatory publishing

For Wikipedia's rules about predatory publishing, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources § Predatory journals.

Predatory publishing, also write-only publishing[1][2] or deceptive publishing,[3] is an exploitative academic publishing business model, where the journal or publisher prioritizes self-interest at the expense of scholarship. It is characterized by misleading information, deviates from the standard peer review process, is highly non-transparent, and often utilizes aggressive solicitation practices.[4]

The phenomenon of "open access predatory publishers" was first noticed by Jeffrey Beall around 2012, when he described "publishers that are ready to publish any article for payment".[5] However, criticisms about the label "predatory" have been raised.[6] A lengthy review of the controversy started by Beall appears in The Journal of Academic Librarianship.[7]

Predatory publishers are so regarded because scholars are tricked into publishing with them, although some authors may be aware that the journal is poor quality or even fraudulent but publish in them anyway.[a] New scholars from developing countries are said to be especially at risk of being misled by predatory publishers.[9][10][11] A 2022 report found, that "nearly a quarter of the respondents from 112 countries, and across all disciplines and career stages, indicated that they had either published in a predatory journal, participated in a predatory conference, or did not know if they had. The majority of those who did so unknowingly cited a lack of awareness of predatory practices; whereas the majority of those who did so knowingly cited the need to advance their careers."[12]

According to one study, 60% of articles published in predatory journals receive no citations over the five-year period following publication.[13][14]

Actors seeking to maintain the scholarly ecosystem have sought to minimize the influence of predatory publishing through the use of blacklists such as Beall's List and Cabell's blacklist, as well as through whitelists such as the Directory of Open Access Journals. Nevertheless, identifying (and even providing a quantitative defition) of predatory journals remains difficult, because it is a spectrum rather than binary phenomenon.[15] In the same issue of a journal it is possible to find articles, which meet the highest criteria for scientific integrity, and articles, which have one or more unethical issues.
