The science and practice of dentistry are underpinned by research and clinical developments that have been evaluated rigorously before being presented to the profession in peer-reviewed journals or at national and international meetings. The online platform that supports open access journals has been corrupted by the emergence of so-called 'predatory journals', which accept papers on payment of a significant publication fee. This practice has now extended to dental conferences and this article describes the author's personal views of predatory conferences.
牙科科学与实践的基础是研究和临床进展,这些进展在通过同行评审期刊或在国家和国际会议上向专业人士展示之前,都经过了严格评估。支持开放获取期刊的在线平台因所谓“掠夺性期刊”的出现而受到破坏,这些期刊在收取高额出版费用后便接受论文。这种做法现在已经扩展到牙科会议,本文描述了作者对掠夺性会议的个人看法。
