List of Predatory Journals and Trusted Resources [2022] (2023)

For both the scientific community and the academic journals that publish their research findings, integrity is paramount, and deceptive practices on the part of either party can be severely prohibitive to the advancement of science.

For-profit journals with questionable credentials and publishing practices, coined “predatory journals,” have been identified by multiple groups.

This article lists previously identified “predatory” journals, outlines trusted resources for finding reputable journals, and provides insight into both the history of “predatory” journal lists and current contention surrounding the topic.

In 2008, Jeffrey Beall, a librarian at the University of Colorado, started a list of “potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers” on his blog Scholarly Open Access.

Known as “Beall’s List,” the reference resource listed journals found to have questionable integrity based on a set of criteria intended to identify journals with unethical practices.

Beall’s List expanded from 18 journals in 2011 to nearly one thousand in 2016 and became highly used by researchers trying to identify and avoid journals with deceptive publishing practices.

In 2013, to evaluate the integrity of peer review practices among fee-charging open access publishers, Science correspondent John Bohannon submitted manuscripts “with grave and obvious scientific flaws” to multiple “predatory” journals, some of which were by publishers on Beall’s List, and found that 82% of the journals on Beall’s List erroneously accepted the papers.

While some argued that the results of the experiment supported Beall’s mission, others noted that “predatory” journal lists could be falsely accusatory of legitimate academic journals.

Librarians at the City University of New York pointed out “fuzziness between low-quality and predatory publishers” and suggested whitelisting, or establishing a list of verified journals with high quality standards, as an alternative to the blacklisting provided by Beall’s List.

Due to contention, Jeffrey Beall removed his list and blog from the internet. However, the list remains accessible and since then additional “predatory” journal blacklists and whitelists have been established.

Blacklists of suspected “predatory” journals include those maintained by the Norwegian Scientific Index (“level X” publishers) and Cabells International.

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), founded in 2003 by a group at Lund University in Sweden, is a whitelist of reputable open access publishers.

Other trusted resources helpful for identifying well-regarded journals include MEDLINE, managed by the National Library of Medicine, Journal Citation Reports, and WorldCat.

Additional resources include Think Check Submit, which provides guidance on how to choose reputable publishers, Journal Reviewer, which is an aggregation of real-world experiences with academic journals intended to inform others’ decision-making, and Sherpa Romeo which provides insight into the policies of open access journals.

Keep in mind that “predatory” journal lists, while based on carefully defined criteria and good intentions, carry the possibility of error and should be interpreted cautiously.

For example, the study conducted by John Bohannon found that among DOAJ-listed journals that received his falsified manuscript, 45% erroneously accepted the document for publication.

The below list of “predatory” journals represents publishers on the original Beall’s List and is intended to serve as an unbiased information resource. You can also access an updated Beall’s List for further insight.
