The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of predatory journals in Orthopedics and Traumatology and to investigate the relationship of these publications with the regulations of scientific fields made in recent years in Turkey.
The journals and publishers between the years 2000-2018 were screened and websites visited one by one on the basis of the orthopedic journals and publishers list determined as predators or possible predators. Orthopedic publications originated from Turkey was detected in these predatory journals. Article admissions, article processing charges, editorial and referee average response times were reviewed from the websites of journals. In addition, the effect of changing associate professorship application requirements and academic incentive regulation on the preference of predatory journals was examined.
Between 2000 and 2018 years 1626 issues which can be reached in 282 journals were examined. 4795 articles were screened in 29 journals which have articles originated from Turkey. One hundred and six (2.21%) articles which originated from Turkey was reached in these publications. Average article processing charge was $865 ($ 0-1819). Fifty-nine of 106 (55%) articles originated from Turkey were found in only 4 journal. Journals which have articles originated from Turkey were not on the Web of Science list. The response time to the articles was between 2 and 6 weeks in these journals. After the change criteria in associate professorship in 2016, 3.32 fold increase in annual average number of publications originated from Turkey have been identified in predatory journals. After the change criteria in academic incentive regulation in 2015, 4.76 fold increase in annual average number of publications originated from Turkey have been identified in predatory journals.
The number of articles in predatory journals is increasing all over the world. This situation also valid in the field of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in Turkey. Authors should pay attention regarding predatory journals not only article processing charges but also very short evaluation period.
本研究旨在确定骨科与创伤学领域掠夺性期刊的流行情况，并调查这些出版物与土耳其近年来制定的科学领域法规之间的关系。
对2000年至2018年间的期刊和出版商进行筛选，并根据确定为掠夺性或可能为掠夺性的骨科期刊和出版商名单逐一访问其网站。在这些掠夺性期刊中检测源自土耳其的骨科出版物。从期刊网站上审查文章录用情况、文章处理费、编辑和审稿人的平均回复时间。此外，还研究了副教授申请要求的变化和学术激励规定对掠夺性期刊偏好的影响。
在2000年至2018年期间，共检查了282种期刊的1626期。在29种有源自土耳其文章的期刊中筛选了4795篇文章。在这些出版物中找到了106篇（2.21%）源自土耳其的文章。文章处理费平均为865美元（0至1819美元）。106篇源自土耳其的文章中有59篇（55%）仅出现在4种期刊中。有源自土耳其文章的期刊不在科学引文索引列表中。这些期刊对文章的回复时间在2至6周之间。2016年副教授任职资格标准变更后，掠夺性期刊中源自土耳其的年平均出版物数量增长了3.32倍。2015年学术激励规定标准变更后，掠夺性期刊中源自土耳其的年平均出版物数量增长了4.76倍。
掠夺性期刊上的文章数量在全球范围内都在增加。这种情况在土耳其的骨科与创伤学领域也存在。作者不仅应关注掠夺性期刊的文章处理费，还应注意其极短的评估期。
