Description

Jean-Philippe Chippaux and fellow editors of Médecine Tropicale et Santé Internationale take a stand against predatory publishing, in a two thousand twenty-three editorial. Warnings about predatory journals keep growing stronger. Such journals are built to capture manuscripts with a promise of fast publication. Their main aim is to charge high fees to authors.

Some boast impact factors that do not exist. They are not indexed, so the work they print may never be seen. They give no promise that a printed article will stay within reach or last over time. Most of all, they show no care for rigor or for honesty in the science they print. The editors urge authors to pick outlets that guard the reach and the standing of their work, above all in tropical medicine.
