  • Title: Predatory journals: una amenaza emergente para autores y editores de publicaciones biomédicas.
    Author: Delgado-López PD, Corrales-García EM.
    Journal: Neurocirugia (Astur : Engl Ed); 2018; 29(1):39-43. PubMed ID: 28965806.
    Abstract:
    So-called predatory publishing is a new and rising phenomenon presenting as an intellectual fraud that jeopardises the quality of scientific contribution, compromises the activity of authors, reviewers and editors of legitimate journals, damages the image of open access publications and is a very profitable business. In this paper, we review the concept and relevance of predatory journals and the characteristics that differentiate them from legitimate publications. Neurosurgical and general neuroscience journals are not immune to this problem. Academic institutions and ethics committees have a duty to raise awareness of this phenomenon and provide information and support to authors and the whole scientific community to avoid its propagation and potential control of biomedical publishing.
