| Description: |
Predatory publishing has long been recognized as a threat to scientific integrity, particularly in health sciences (Camargo et al., 2023; Chandra & Dasgupta, 2024). Although only a small proportion of pediatric articles appear in predatory journals (Kokol et al., 2018), even limited numbers can distort evidence, mislead clinicians, and undermine trust in scientific evidence-based research (Betz, 2016). An issue considered by Van Loon and Van Loon (2024) as a threat to society. |
