An Analysis of the Impact of Gold Open Access Publications in Computer Science
There has been some concern about the impact of predatory publishers on
scientific research for some time. Recently, publishers that might previously
have been considered `predatory' have established their bona fides, at least to
the extent that they are included in citation impact scores such as the
field-weighted citation impact (FWCI). These are sometimes called `grey'
publishers (MDPI, Frontiers, Hindawi). In this paper, we show that the citation
landscape for these grey publications is significantly different from the
mainstream landscape and that affording publications in these venues the same
status as publications in mainstream journals may significantly distort metrics
such as the FWCI.
