越来越多的学者和研究人员被掠夺性的开放获取期刊所招揽，这些期刊寻求提交手稿，并滥用作者付费模式，在没有任何或适当的同行评审的情况下向作者收取出版费。这种有问题的编辑做法正在威胁学术出版的声誉和可信度。迄今为止，在康复领域尚未对这一现象进行调查。本研究试图确定在这一领域运作的具体掠夺性期刊，以量化这一现象及其地理分布。比尔的名单已被用于这一目的，虽然不是完美的，是一个全面和最新的报告掠夺者。在名单上的1113家出版商中，确定了59种期刊，共发表了5610篇文章。每家期刊发表文章的中位数为21篇，文章处理费的中位数为499美元。59种期刊中只有1种被收录在开放获取期刊目录中，而7种（12%）被PubMed收录。大多数出版商位于印度（36%），其次是美国（25%）和巴基斯坦（5%），25%没有可核实的地址。数据表明，掠夺性出版在复兴中的威胁是真实的。建议在这一领域工作的物理学家、物理治疗师、研究人员和学者在考虑在开放获取期刊上发表文章之前，使用现有的工具来识别掠夺性做法。(C)2017年美国康复医学大会
Increasingly scholars and researchers are being solicited by predatory open access journals seeking manuscript submissions and abusing the author-pays model by charging authors with publishing fees without any or proper peer review. Such questionable editorial practices are threatening the reputation and credibility of scholarly publishing. To date, no investigation has been conducted on this phenomenon in the field of rehabilitation. This study attempts to identify specific predatory journals operating in this field to quantify the phenomenon and its geographic distribution. Beall's List has been used to this end which, although not perfect, is a comprehensive and up-to-date report of predatory publfshers. Of the 1113 publishers on the list, 59 journals were identified, for a total of 5610 published articles. The median number of articles published by each journal was 21, and the median amount of article processing charges was $499. Only 1 out of 59 journals was included in the Directory of Open Access Journals, whereas 7 (12%) were indexed by PubMed. Most of the publishers were based in India (36%) followed by the United States (25%) and Pakistan (5%), and 25% were without a verifiable address. The data indicate that the threat of predatory publishing in rehabilitation is real. Physiatrists, physiotherapists, researchers, and academics operating in this field are advised to use the tools available to recognize predatory practices before considering publishing in open access journals.
