Taylor & Francis, a major scientific publisher, has announced in recent 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 currently involved in how effectively control the recent wave of articles produced by these profitable jobs. For this reason, this complete interruption in accepting articles to eliminate this turmoil is a rare action. This action has been admired by a “research honesty” workshop. He had already independently identified the suspicious articles of this magazine.
“Rene Aquarius” (Reńe Aquarius); “I feel today is a great victory for scientific background,” said a biological scientist at the neurosurgery department of the Netherlands Medical Center, which leads a group of research honesty. Aquarius published in March, along with a group of research workshops, a preprint 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 scientific journals. These posts contain 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 content 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 incentive 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 coefficient of 4.3, which included its field publications in Chark II (Q2).
In recent days, Taylor & Francis said in a statement that it is reviewing a thousand articles. Aquarius and his colleagues have acknowledged that solving potential problems of conflict articles can be time consuming. Publications usually contact 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 scientific credibility and integrity. 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 contrast 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 want to see that people and organizations take responsibility when things are broken, and ultimately we are all human; It is important 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 continuous 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.”
