Journals of questionable integrity
Journals of questionable integrity are scientific or academic publications that may not follow strict ethical standards, rigorous review processes, or proper quality controls. They might publish research without thorough peer review, accept low-quality or unverified studies, or prioritize profit over accuracy. Such journals can undermine trust in scientific research, as their content may be unreliable or biased. Recognizing these journals helps ensure that you rely on credible, well-vetted sources for accurate information and sound scientific conclusions.
