Medical Science Potential Predatory Journals in Reputed and Counterfeit Indexing Databases: An Assessment
Abstract
Getting a journal indexed reflects high-quality scientific integrity, which differentiates it from a non-indexed journal. Quantitative analysis of indexing status of a randomly selected sample of 121 predatory journals listed on https://beallslist.net/standalone-journals/ was carried out to ascertain their presence in various reputed bibliographic databases. The study's findings divulge that the presence of predatory journals in bibliographic databases is not significantly widespread. However, some indexing databases such as Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) and PubMed reflect slightly greater values than anticipated and need to be scrutinized and reviewed regularly. Further, the study found that these journals incorporate many metrics under indexing/abstracting information which are not in a true sense suitable to be categorized as indexing abstracting databases. Further, Index Copernicus, Scientific Journal Impact Factor (SJIF), National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), Global Impact Factor (GIF) are the most used counterfeit indexing services by the journals.
