[From Google Translate] Unity is strength: how to stop predatory journals

A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior has shown that about half of those who publish in magazines called "predatory" (the so-called "predatory journals") are researchers who come from industrialized countries and not from developing countries as it is inclined to believe. This underscores the fact that predatory journals are a global problem that involves all areas of scientific research without geographical and economic boundaries. Despite numerous appeals to try to curb the spread of predatory journals, we are witnessing their continuous growth, with enormous damage to research and dissemination of scientific information. This suggests the need for stronger action to counteract this phenomenon.
