Journal Title: International Journal of Innovation in Management, Economics and Social Sciences - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Purpose: The scientific endeavor necessitates publication and assessment of research output with peer-review at its core. Conventional academic publication models, research appraisal, and peer-review procedures, on the other hand, have always been open to abuse and malpractice, putting the integrity of research at risk and exposing the scholarly communication system to overt economic predation. Predatory journals are a well-known problem in scientific publication, and they serve as repository for fabricated research. The volume of predatory journals has increased in recent years, and thus it is vital to propose a resolution to this problem. A well-known problem in scientific publishing is predatory journals, and they are repositories for phony research. The volume of predatory journals has risen in recent years, and it is imperative to present a solution for this academic fraud. Methodology: In this review, the researchers conducted a systematic literature search of the following databases that included Web of Science (all databases), online library repositories. All processes of the review stages included access to the search results and full articles for review and consequent analysis. Articles were added after screening full text articles by meeting the inclusion criteria and meeting none of the exclusion criteria. As there were a high number of articles reporting findings on predatory journals, they were further screened re-evaluated for relevance and for any deviation from the theme of this study. Findings: This paper illustrates and examines predatory publishing regarding academic journals, as well as offering a list of features to use in identifying predatory publications. The report concludes with a discussion of proposed solutions on what should be done to eliminate or mitigate the challenges of this development. Originality/Value: In this paper, we will discuss predatory journals, and basic characteristic in identifying them.
