Duplicate of "Arctic" magazine? What are the scammers famous for?

934

A successful domain purchase helps scammers deceive scientists. How to distinguish the original from the "magazine hijacker"?

Edition page Fraud page

https://arctic.ucalgary.ca/arctic-journal

https://www.arcticjournal.org/


Fraudsters create a website and duplicate information on it from the website of the original publication in whole or in part. The goal is to be as similar as possible to a real magazine in order to cunningly take money for publication from the authors. Fraudsters undermine the reputation of this publication, deceive scientists and harm science by publishing an unknown quality of work.

The heroes of our today's article are the scientific journal "Arctic" ("Arctic") and its duplicate. Using the example of a fake, we will analyze how scammers operate.

Arctic is the premier journal for northern studies in North America. For many years he has published articles from any field of science related to the polar and subpolar regions of the world. It is owned by the Arctic Institute of North America at the University of Calgary. The works published in this edition are original articles that have undergone serious peer review.

Unfortunately, the magazine was not lucky - it had a duplicate a few years ago. When the University became aware of this fact, it took a number of measures, but the “hijack magazine” (the second name given to the fraudulent publication) still exists and actively conducts its activities.

What is this duplicate famous for on the Internet?

  1. The journal publishes all the articles that are sent to it, without respecting a specific topic.
  2. Publication is very fast, without strict peer review.
  3. Fraudsters purchased a domain that matches the name of a real publication. But the original operates on the Institute's website and domain.
  4. The instigators of this scam produce dozens of fake scientific publications on their own to keep up with the monthly releases.

If you find two sites of the same magazine, what criteria help you understand which of them can be the original and which one is a clone?

Check database indexing

The duplicate writes on its website that it is indexed in the Scopus database. But, of course, it was not in the database. There is an original. The error of the real "Arctic" journal is that there is no "Homepage" button in the journal's profile in Scopus - a transition to the journal's original website. This could be used by scammers.

The real journal is also available on the Scimago Journal&Country Rank website. On this platform, a link to the original site is present, unlike Scopus.

Study all the data on the site

Subject of the magazine. Duplicate collects articles from any scientific field.

ISSN . Fraudsters unceremoniously use the ISSN number of the original publication.

Log indicators . The duplicate completely copies the metrics and data of the real journal regarding its indexing in different databases.

Contacts and editorial address . The deceiver writes on their website the same contact details as the original.

Publication fees. Each serious journal specifies a policy for paying publication fees. A duplicate of this information does not provide. But on the other hand, the site has information regarding access to his archive, a kind of premium membership that costs $2,000.

As you can see, scammers from different countries practice incorrect activities that introduce an imbalance in the development of scientific thought. Therefore, before submitting your work to a journal, check its data using the tips we described above. Protect your article, time, money from unfavorable cooperation.

If you have any stories related to the dishonest activities of any company, journal in the field of scientific publications, send them to us by mail: info@publgate.
