Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Scientific Publishing
  • Academic Integrity

Background:

  • Predatory journals are rapidly proliferating in orthopaedic surgery.
  • These journals solicit authors via email, promising open access and fast publication.
  • They bypass essential peer review and plagiarism checks, publishing suspect research.

Approach:

  • This review examines solicitation methods used by predatory journals.
  • It evaluates the escalating prevalence of these journals within orthopaedic surgery.
  • Strategies for authors and readers to identify and avoid predatory journals are proposed.

Key Points:

  • Predatory journals pose a significant threat to scientific discourse and scholarship.
  • Authors are often targeted based on their publication history in legitimate venues.
  • Millions of dollars in research funding, including from the National Institutes of Health, are potentially misused.

Conclusions:

  • Identifying and mitigating the impact of predatory journals is crucial for maintaining scientific quality.
  • Authors and readers must be educated on the characteristics of predatory publishing.
  • Vigilance is required to protect the integrity of orthopaedic surgery research.
