[:no]\"k2nytt_uke-14_rovtidsskrifter_bealls-list\"<\/a>Har du noen gang f\u00e5tt invitasjoner til \u00e5 skrive anmeldelser eller redigere spesialutgaver for tidsskrifter som du aldri har h\u00f8rt om f\u00f8r? Eller har du noen gang blitt invitert til \u00e5 lede en sesjon p\u00e5 en ny konferanse innen ditt felt, fordi du er \u201dslik en ekspert\u201d \u2013 selv noen ganger innen et fagomr\u00e5de som slett ikke h\u00f8rer til ditt spesialfelt?<\/p>\n

Vel, de fleste av oss har opplevd dette, og noen av oss kan motta et dusin slike invitasjoner i l\u00f8pet av en uke. For unge forskere tidlig i karrieren kan det v\u00e6re lett \u00e5 bli lurt av disse invitasjonene f\u00f8rste gang man f\u00e5r dem. Det er selvf\u00f8lgelig smigrende for enhver forsker \u00e5 bli invitert til \u00e5 holde et innlegg eller lede en sesjon, slik som det skjedde med oss denne uken.<\/p>\n

V\u00e6r oppmerksom p\u00e5 disse s\u00e5kalte \u201crovkonferansene\u201d: Du er invitert til \u00e5 lede og tale, men du m\u00e5 fortsatt betale en h\u00f8y deltakeravgift. Angivelig arrangeres de fleste av disse konferansene, men de annonserte hovedtalerne dukker sjelden opp. De takker som regel nei. Dermed risikerer du \u00e5 ende opp p\u00e5 en konferanse sammen med noen f\u00e5 andre som ogs\u00e5 har blitt lurt til en h\u00f8y pris.<\/p>\n

Tilsvarende kan \u201crovtidsskrifter\u201d lure deg til \u00e5 skrive en artikkel for dem, som de til slutt vil publisere uten fagfellevurdering og revidering (du gj\u00f8r det selv), og du m\u00e5 betale for alle publiseringskostnadene. Dette er en \u00e5penbar tap-tap-situasjon, da du i tillegg aldri vil f\u00e5 noen siteringer!<\/p>\n

S\u00e5 v\u00e6r p\u00e5 vakt, og ikke la deg lure av denne svindelen. Og om du skulle v\u00e6re i tvil, s\u00e5 sp\u00f8r andre f\u00f8r du takker ja.<\/p>\n

Her er to nyere artikler for de som \u00f8nsker \u00e5 lese mer om dette:<\/p>\n

Den ene er om rovkonferanser og hvorfor du ikke b\u00f8r svare p\u00e5 slike invitasjoner. Den andre handler om rovtidsskrifter, og at det ikke var noe problem \u00e5 sysselsette dr. \u201cFraud\u201d som ny redakt\u00f8r i disse!<\/p>\n

Stephanie Le Hellard[:en]\"k2nytt_uke-14_rovtidsskrifter_bealls-list\"<\/a>Have you ever received invitations to write reviews, or edit a special issue for journals that you have never heard of before? Or have you ever been invited to chair a session at a new conference within your field, because you are such an expert? Even sometimes in area that are not at all your expertise?<\/p>\n

Well, most of us have and some of us can receive a dozen of those in a week. For the young scientist in early career, it can be easy to be fooled by those invitations the first time they received them. It is of course flattering for any scientist to be invited for a talk or a session. Like it happened to us this week.<\/p>\n

Be aware of those so called \u201cpredatory conferences\u201d: You are invited to chair and speak, but you still have to pay a high fee. Apparently, most of those conferences still take place, but none of the key speakers advertise are there, since they never agreed in the first place. You end up in a conference with a couple of people that have been fooled like you for a high price.<\/p>\n

Similarly, \u201cpredatory journals\u201d can scam you into writing an article for them, which they will eventually publish without any peer-review and no edition (you do it yourself), and you have to pay for all publication costs. It\u2019s a lose-lose situation, since in addition you will never get any citations for that!<\/p>\n

So be aware, don\u2019t fall for those scams, and in case of doubt, ask around.<\/p>\n

If you want to read more about this, here are two recent articles:<\/p>\n

One is about predatory conferences and why you should not answer to them. The other is about predatory journals, which had no problems employing Dr. \u201cFraud\u201d as their new editor!<\/p>\n
