Why Predatory Publishers are Problematic?
43
Fake Metrics
• Fake metrics (or misleading metrics) are numbers that are just
“made up” and assigned to journals, etc.
• Companies sell these metrics and call them “impact factors”
• Publishers use ‘fake metrics’ on their websites and in their spam
email to make their journals look like real ones and attract more
papers
