Questionable journal lists are often referred to as "blacklists" and conventionally used alongside "whitelists." Nevertheless, it is crucial to note that these terms carry historical connotations that can be perceived as racist, and their use should be actively avoided. This article proposes alternative terms, such as "watchlist" and "safelist," taking into consideration their etymology. Nonetheless, it should be emphasized that the quality of a journal cannot be adequately characterized in a dualistic manner, and this aspect is also of significant importance.
