Khalid El Bairi: The growing concerns about the emergence of non-peer-reviewed journals in oncology
Khalid El Bairi, Founder of The Cancer Biomarkers Working Group, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Predatory journals have developed new tactics and have now infiltrated indexing databases such as Scopus and PubMed. Alarmingly, their content may be used in evidence synthesis processes, potentially compromising guideline development in clinical practice and harming patients. This critical issue was the focus of a plenary conference I delivered during the Annual Meeting of the Pan-African Organization For Health, Education and Research (POHER) in Lusaka, Zambia.
Our recent publication in JCO Global Oncology also highlights the growing concerns about the emergence of these non-peer-reviewed, fraudulent journals in oncology. It’s an intriguing read—take a look here!”
