Fake Papers
In the 17th century, scientific work was disseminated through prestigious entities like academies or universities. Manuscripts were reviewed and published based on the institution members’ judgment. This method persisted until the 20th century when commercial publishers led to the emergence of Peer Review and the Journal Impact Factor (JIF). Open Access, which advocates for free access to scientific information, also became important. Despite facilitating scientific communication, these factors also led to problems like plagiarism and data fabrication.
The Future of Scientific Publishing
Scientific publishing faces evolution: from prestigious journals to commercial giants. Concerns arise over access barriers, rising costs, and the emergence of predatory publishers. The future hinges on open access and digitalization, shaping a dynamic landscape for knowledge exchange.
