Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Highlights • Predatory open-access threatens the credibility of genuine open-access publishing, particularly in biomedical research. • Predatory journals retrieved in neuroscience and neurology are not listed in the DOAJ, Scopus and MEDLINE. • 11% and 20% of predatory journals retrieved in neuroscience and neurology, respectively, are indexed in PubMed. • Predatory journals outnumber legitimate journals in neurology (108 versus 73). • Methodological steps are provided to help scholars identify predatory practices when submitting to open-access journals.
