How predatory journals leak into PubMed / Manca, A., Moher, D., Cugusi, L., Dvir, Z., Deriu, F.. - In: CMAJ. - ISSN 0820-3946. - 190:35(2018), pp. 1042-1045. [10.1503/cmaj.180154]
abstract:
PubMed, MEDLINE and PubMed Central are all funded by the
National Library of Medicine but are different databases.
• PubMed has been reported to include some articles published in
predatory journals.
• MEDLINE and PubMed policies for the selection of journals for
database inclusion are slightly different.
• Weaknesses in the criteria and procedures for indexing journals in
PubMed Central may allow publications from predatory journals
to leak into PubMed.
• Closing these loopholes is necessary to protect the integrity of
reputable databases and safeguard biomedical research.
