Abstract

The aim of this study is to inform scholars of education about the growing danger of predatory journals and conferences (PJC) in scientific publishing ethics. A rare study (Demir, 2018a) revealed that Turkey ranks third among geographical locations of predatory journals. Increasing numbers of publications in predatory journals and participation in predatory conferences is also most prevalent among researchers from educational fields (Demir, 2018b, 2018c). Nonetheless, the national literature of education lacks informative studies regarding PJC. The present study is expected to help fill this gap in the education literature. The introduction of this paper provides information about ethical scholarly publishing, followed by a description of the traditional scholarly publishing model. The open access model and the emergence of predatory journals is explained next. Common features and methods of PJC are presented. An insight into the current situation regarding PJC in Turkey is provided through an analysis of limited national research literature that is available. The paper concludes with a discussion of harm related to PJC, and recommendation of preventative measures against them.

Özet

Bu derleme makalenin amacı, dünyada ve Türkiye’de bilimsel yayın etiğinde büyüyen bir tehlike olan sahte dergiler ve kongreler konusunda eğitim alanındaki araştırmacıları bilgilendirmektir. Nadir bir araştırmaya göre (Demir, 2018a) Türkiye sahte dergilerin en çok bulunduğu üçüncü ülkedir. Özellikle eğitim alanındaki araştırmacılar arasında artan sayılarda sahte dergilerde yayın ve şaibeli kongre katılımları dikkat çekmektedir (Demir, 2018b, 2018c). Buna karşılık, eğitimle ilgili yayın yapan ulusal dergilerde bu konuda bilgilendirici çalışmalara rastlanmamaktadır. Türkiye’de eğitim alanyazınındaki bu boşluğun doldurulmasına yardımcı olmak amacıyla bu derleme çalışması yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın giriş kısmında etik bilimsel yayın sürecinin temel özelliklerine ve geleneksel bilimsel yayıncılık modeline ilişkin bilgi verilmekte, daha sonra açık erişim modeli ve sahte dergilerle kongrelerin nasıl ortaya çıktığı açıklanmaktadır. Sahte dergilerin ve kongrelerin ortak özelliklerine ve yöntemlerine ilişkin bilgi verilmiş, ulusal alanyazınında varolan sınırlı sayıda yayın incelenmiştir. Sonuç kısmında, sahte dergi ve kongrelerin zararları tartışılmakta ve önlenmesine ilişkin öneriler sunulmaktadır.
