Predatory publications in Scopus: Evidence on cross-country differences
Original language description
The paper maps the infiltration of so-called "predatory" scholarly journals into the citation database Scopus. Using the names of "potential, possible, or probable" predatory journals and publishers on Beall's lists, we derived ISSNs of the respective journals from Ulrichsweb and searched Scopus with it. A total of 324 matched journals with 164 thousand documents indexed in Scopus over 2015-2017, making up a share of 2.8 % of the total articles have been identified. An analysis of cross-country differences in the tendency to publish in these journals shows that overall the most affected are middle-income countries in Asia and North Africa, however, this is a truly global problem striking across continents, cultures and political systems.
