Abstract

At the November 2024 regular meeting of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), predatory journals emerged as a major agenda item. Earlier, in August 2024, the Asia Pacific Association of Medical Journal Editors (APAME) held in Sydney also issued a statement addressing predatory journals. The issue of predatory journals is becoming increasingly serious. In line with the ICMJE’s declaration, this review discusses predatory journals in general, suggests how researchers, journal publishers, and editors should address them, and presents an outlook for the future.
