The goal is to study the prevalence of citajacked papers: papers in authentic scientific journals citing hijacked journals, in academic literature. A Citejacked detector was designed as a part of the Problematic Paper Screener (https://www.irit.fr/~Guillaume.Cabanac/problematic-paper-screener/citejacked) to trace if the references to articles originating from hijacked journals infiltrate scientific communication. A full-text search was performed between November 2021 and January 2022 in the Dimensions database using the name of 1 of the 12 hijacked journals. The analysis of the bibliography in these articles revealed that 828 of them cite unreliable articles from hijacked journals. During 01.Jan.2021-31.Jan.2022, an average of 2 citejacked articles has been published daily in established journals. Given the limited number of titles included in this study, the phenomenon might be wider and is not yet systematically studied.
翻译:目的是研究被劫持论文的普及情况:在学术文献中,在真实科学期刊中引用被劫持的期刊的论文;作为问题纸屏幕筛选器(https://www.irit.fr/~Guillaume.Cabanac/problematic-paper-screener/citebacked)的一部分,设计了一个被劫持的探测器,以追踪被劫持的期刊文章的引用是否渗透到科学通信中;2021年11月至2022年1月,用12个被劫持的期刊中1个的名称在Dimes数据库中进行了全文搜索;这些文章中的文献目录分析显示,其中828个引用了被劫持期刊中的不可靠文章;在1月、2021-31日、Jan.2022年期间,平均每天有2篇被劫持的文章在固定期刊上发表;鉴于本研究中包括的题目有限,这一现象可能更为广泛,尚未系统地研究。
