摘要
导读:随着科学出版向在线过渡,开放获取和掠夺性出版商激增。本研究描述了加拿大整形外科住院医师项目申请人在潜在掠夺性和开放获取期刊上发表文章的频率,并探讨了与开放获取和掠夺性出版相关的申请人特征。方法:回顾性分析2015 - 2018年整形外科住院医师申请人的简历。两位作者对简历中列出的已发表文章进行了审查,以确定发表的可用性、出版年份和出版商。使用开放获取期刊目录确定开放获取出版物。掠夺性出版物是根据Beall的潜在掠夺性出版商名单来确定的。总结已发表申请人的特点。使用逻辑回归探讨了与开放获取和掠夺性出版相关的申请人特征。结果:186名申请者中,117人发表论文388篇,纳入最终分析。76名(40.8%)申请人在开放获取期刊上发表了156篇(40.2%)文章。14篇(3.6%)文章被14名(7.5%)申请人发表在掠夺性期刊上。与开放获取出版相关的申请人特征包括出版物总数(OR: 1.56, 1.18-1.93, P = 0.038)。只有申请人的总发表数(OR: 1.25, 1.06-1.48, P = 0.010)与在掠夺性期刊上发表显著相关。结论:这些发现强调了提高包括医学生在内的整形外科界对掠夺性期刊的欺骗性的认识的重要性。
The Presence of Predatory and Open Access Journal Publications Among Canadian Plastic Surgery Residency Applicants.
Introduction: As scientific publishing has transitioned online, open access and predatory publishers have surged. This study describes the frequency of publications in potentially predatory and open access journals among applicants to a Canadian plastic surgery residency program, and explores applicant characteristics associated with open access and predatory publishing. Methods: A retrospective review of plastic surgery resident applicants' curriculum vitae (CVs) from 2015 to 2018 was performed. Published articles listed in CVs were reviewed by 2 authors to identify publication availability, publication year, and publisher. Open access publications were identified using the Directory of Open Access Journals. Predatory publications were identified using Beall's list of potentially predatory publishers. Published applicants' characteristics were summarized. Applicant characteristics associated with open access and predatory publishing were explored using logistic regression. Results: Of the 186 applicants, 117 published 388 articles and were included in the final analysis. 156 (40.2%) articles were published in open access journals by 76 (40.8%) applicants. 14 (3.6%) articles were published in predatory journals by 14 (7.5%) applicants. Applicant characteristics associated with open access publishing included total number of publications (OR: 1.56, 1.18-1.93, P < .001) and presence of at least one post-baccalaureate degree (OR: 0.36, 0.13-0.95, P = .038). Only an applicant's total number of publications (OR: 1.25, 1.06-1.48, P = .010) was significantly associated with publishing in a predatory journal. Conclusion: These findings stress the importance of raising awareness within the plastic surgery community, including medical students, about the deceptive nature of predatory journals.
