An aspect to the publication ethics subject in the open access online journals

"In recent years, there is an increase in the number of national and international open access journals. Most of them are not authentic peer-review journals and do not have reviewers. They accept and publish each submitted paper within a short time such as only 20 days after the corresponding author makes the payment. This short publishing time particularly attracts young academicians, and they are tempted to send their original manuscripts to these journals because they wish that the number of their published studies be increased as soon as possible. Because they submit a written article to publish in a hurry, they are not interested in the journal’s prestige, reliability, and periodicity. This publication process may result in too many suspicions from a scientific perspective about the reliability of study findings even though the study is well planned and its results are valuable. Because most open access journals are not ranking continuously in the international indexes, academics are going to be appointed. After that, author often submits the same study to another indexed journal. An important problem is whether resubmission is acceptable or is not regarding the principles of publication ethics in this situation. We believe that all journal editors would experience with this world-wide event in the near future. Thus, we felt a necessity for discussing this subject because of an event which we have met recently."
