17 Med journals Accept "cuckoo for cocoa puffs
:huh: :wtf: :lol:
Phony research to be published for mere $500
(FASTCOMPANY) — As a medical researcher at Harvard, Mark Shrime gets a very special kind of spam in his inbox: every day, he receives at least one request from an open-access medical journal promising to publish his research if he would only pay $500.
“You block one of them with your spam filter and immediately another one pops up,” Shrime, an MD who is pursuing a PhD in health policy, tells me.
These emails are annoying, for sure, but Shrime was worried that there might be bigger issues at stake: What exactly are these journals publishing and who is taking these journals to be credible sources of medical information?
