Taylor & Francis, a major scieific publisher, has announced in rece days that the process has stopped submitting the article to Bioenginered. Therefore, the editors of this journal can examine about a thousand articles that have signs of manipulated results or have signs of production in paper factories. Many journals are currely involved in how effectively corol the rece wave of articles produced by these profitable jobs. For this reason, this complete ierruption in accepting articles to eliminate this turmoil is a rare action. This action has been admired by a “research honesty” workshop. He had already independely ideified the suspicious articles of this magazine.
“Rene Aquarius” (Reńe Aquarius); “I feel today is a great victory for scieific background,” said a biological scieist at the neurosurgery departme of the Netherlands Medical Ceer, which leads a group of research honesty. Aquarius published in March, along with a group of research workshops, a prepri article published that the article stated that Bioenginered Magazine is full of problematic articles and that Taylor And Francis did not quickly review them. This was then that the publisher had announced in year 2 that the honesty and credibility of the editor of the Bioenginered magazine had been compromised in years 1 and 2, but the magazine has since been able to overcome the activity of paper mills.
Article factories are companies that sell posts and buyers of these posts can submit them to scieific journals. These posts coain fabricated or manipulated findings. In some cases, these companies are mediating the name of those who pay for a writer in an article; Even if that person has no participation in the coe of the article.
Aquarius had earlier reported in a pre -shell article that from a sample of approximately 5 articles published by Bioenginered from year 1 to 2, one quarter of them had signs of manipulation or replication of images, with only five of these articles being discharged or rewarded. Also, the total number of articles published in year 2 increased by 5 times and reached more than a thousand articles that year, which is a warning sign of the activity of paper factories. The Magazine’s free access model, which costs authors or institutions to publish an article, provides an inceive to accept more articles; But since then, the annual publishing rate of the BioEnginered magazine has declined. In year 4, this magazine had an impact coefficie of 4.3, which included its field publications in Chark II (Q2).
In rece days, Taylor & Francis said in a stateme that it is reviewing a thousand articles. Aquarius and his colleagues have acknowledged that solving poteial problems of conflict articles can be time consuming. Publications usually coact their authors about the possibility of recapturing or disqualifying the article, and many authors oppose the issue. But Taylor & Francis, who publishes more than 2,800 publications, earns hundreds of millions of pounds annually and has the resources and responsibility for systematic review of articles.
The publisher said in a year about the problems of the BioEnginered Magazine that the problems of the journal include increasing requests to change the authors of articles, which could be a possible sign of monetary writing. The publication reported that it has increased conservation measures related to scieific credibility and iegrity. Including that the leadership and editorial board have changed the magazine.
In April this year, Clarivit Analytics deleted Bioenginered Magazine from its list on the Webwan Sins base. Also, Rittenci Watch, a database of credit for disqualification articles, raised concerns about the quality of the magazine. Removing from the Webwatch List can discourage authors from submitting new articles to this magazine.
This approach is suspended by submitting an article to Bioenginered Magazine in corast to the actions that another large publisher, Wali, adopted the widespread influence of the productions of the paper factories in his previous magazine, Hindawi. In the year 9, Willy Publishing closed four of its publications and abolished their brand.
Aquarius prays for Bioenginered Magazine to solve its problems and says I think this problem can be solved and I wa to see that people and organizations take responsibility when things are broken, and ultimately we are all human; It is importa to accept and address these problems.
Taylor & Francis says stopping the process of submitting articles also gives us an opportunity to consider the future of the magazine. This stop may require that this journal justifies its coinuous value to researchers. As Alan Earlich, a biological engineer and head of biological mechanics at the University of McGill, says: “I can’t understand why after these authors they have to choose to publish their articles on Bioengineered.”
