Abstract
Emerging as a novel cybercrime, cloned (or hijacked) journals with identical ISSNs to legitimate ones have surfaced.
These cloned journals employ various tactics, and this article identifies and discusses the top five.
Fraudulent journals primarily focus on print-only publications, using parallel websites to mislead researchers.
Cloned journals are using videos on their homepages to deceitfully showcase indexing in databases like Scopus or Web of Science.
克隆(或劫持)期刊与合法期刊的 ISSN 相同,这是一种新型网络犯罪。这些克隆期刊采用了各种策略,本文将对其中五大策略进行识别和讨论。欺诈性期刊主要关注纯印刷出版物,利用平行网站误导研究人员。克隆期刊在其主页上利用视频欺骗性地展示在 Scopus 或 Web of Science 等数据库中的索引情况。
