Predatory Journals Samjhaai Gayi: Inhe Kaise Pehchane Aur Bachne Ke Tarike
Apne shaikshanik pratishtha ki raksha karein. Jaanein predatory journals ko pehchanna kaise jab tak der na ho jaaye.
Predatory journals dhokhebaz prakashak hain jo shodh kartaaon ka shoshan karte hain, prakashan shulk lete hain bina wahi gunkanta ya peer review pradaan kiye jo vaastavik shaikshanik prakashan mein upalit hoti hai. Ye journals aksar bharosemand prakashan ki nakal karte hain par vidvatata maanyata ko bahut kam mahatva dete hain.
Shodh kartaaon ke liye, ek predatory journal mein prakashan karna pratishtha ko nukhsaan pahuncha sakta hai, bahumulya samay aur arthik sansadhan barbaad kar sakta hai, aur karya ko pehchana ya udghoshita hone se rok sakta hai. Iska prabhav sansthaon ko bhi hani pahunchaata hai, vigyaanik samaj ko bhramit karta hai, aur ashudh paayi gayi khoj reporto ke saath shaikshanik database ko doshpoorn karta hai.
Ye guide aapko sab kuch batayegi jo aapko jaanna jaroori hai: kaise predatory journal ki nishaniyon ko pehchaane, inmein samil jokhim kya hai, aur unse bachne ke liye kya kaaryathmak kadam le sakte hain!
Predatory Journals ki Visheshtayein
Predatory journals aam tor par milta-julta pattern apnaate hain: kharab shaikshanik reeti-rivaaj, aspashta prakashan maanyataayein, aur dhokha-dhaadi waale upaay. In laal jhandiyon ko samajhna aapke shodh pratiṣhṭha ki suraksha ke liye mahtvapurn hai.
Sakht Peer Review ki Kami
Vaastavik journals mein peer-review prakriya hoti hai jo anek rounds ki visheshagya akalan, sudhar, aur, kai baar, aswikriti shamil karti hai. Predatory journals in sab ka tyag kar dete hain.
Ye sambhaav hai ki aapki prastuti ko kuch dino ya ghanton mein sweekar liya jaye. Kuch toh nakli peer reviewers ka prayog karte hain ya bilkul na vigyaan sambandhit karyon ko bina any mahatv ke prakashit karte hain. Agar aapka prastav bina kisi tippani ya sudhar ke swikaar ho jayein, to yeh achhi nishani nahi hai.
Dhokha-Dhaadi Jankari
Jali loan sankhyayein se lekar jali sampadakon ko listed karne tak, predatory journals aksar maanyata ki kalpanik roop tayar karte hain.
Ye sambhaav hai ki "loan sankhyayein" cite karein jo Journal Citation Reports jaise bharosemand sroton se nahi hain.
Sampadakiya mandli ke sadasya sambhavana nahi ki unke journal se jude hone ko sweekrit kiya ho.
Journal jhooti daaway kare ki wo Scopus ya Web of Science jaise pramukh data base mein suchit hai.
Hamesha metrics, sampadakiya suchiyon, aur suchi daawaa ko adhikarik database ya scholar profiles par cross-check karein.
Akramak Kyacheni Abhiyog
Kya kabhi aapko koi email mila, jo aapko kisi journal mein paper jama karne ke liye nimantran deta hai aur aap us journal ko jante bhi nahi? Ye ek pehchan pratha hai.
Predatory journals lekhakon ko akarshit karne ke liye spammy taktike upayog karte hain, vaade karte hain:
Tez prakashan samay
Kam prastuti badhayein
Sunishchit sweekriti
Ye visesh roop se aarambhik shodh kartaaon ko nishana banaate hain jo prakashan ke liye utsuk hote hain aur abhi tak jaane ki avashyakta nahi hoti ki kya dheyan dein.
Kharab Gunkanta aur Scop
Kai aise journals lekh prakashit karte hain jo typos, kharab formatting, aur yahaan tak ki nakli maanyata se bhare hote hain. Kuch ka koi spasht scop ya ainshas hai, vo kuch bhi swikaar karte hain, rasan se lekar rachnatmak lekh tak.
Ek kharab ya amaatr dekhai dene wali website aksar ek matra nischit chetra hoti hai. Pramukh journals baarik platforms banaate hain, research ethics ka paalan karte hain, aur har prastuti par gunkanta niyantran lagu karte hain.
Risk aur Parinaman
Predatory prakashan sirf samay aur paisa ka kharch nahi hai; yah vyakti pratishtha ko apmaanit karta hai aur sakarya shodh ka bharosa ghaat karta hai. Ye hai kyun unse door rehna mehatvapurn hai.
Shodh Kartaao par Prabhav
Eks predatory journal mein prakashan aapki shaikshanik rekod ko pareshan kar sakta hai.
Shodh kartaa grant avsar kho chuke hain, bharti samiti se sandeh face kiya hai, aur unstak ko aswikrit dekhte hein. Kuch haalat mein scholars avichit the ki unhone ek predatory outlet mein prastuti di thi jab tak der na ho jaaye.
Vaastavik samachar: Kutch vishwa vidhyalayon ne aise prakashan ko tenure ya promotion reviews mein nahi mane. Anye grant paise ke saathunkan shaikshanik anuchayana samjhte hain.
Vigyanik Deepnta par Asar
Galat vigyaan galat haathon mein tezi se fahelta hai.
Predatory journals apne aparikshit, asatyukt, ya nakali khoj ko database mein gira dete hain, kabhi kabhi ye tak ki janta shakshniya ya media mein apni jagah bana lete hain. Ye khataranak hai, khaas tor par dawai, jalvayu vigyaan, ya manovigyaan jaise chetron mein.
Jab vaastavik journals research ko aage badhane mein madad karte hain, predatory ekstraim ko dosh paraain karte hain, yakeen banaye liye sach aur shor ko dulne mein mushkil karte hain. Khushkismati se, sansthaaon aur prakashako ne nakli journals ko blacklist karne aur jagrookta badhane ka kaam kiya hai.
Predatory Journals Ki Pehchaan
Aapki shaikshanik karya ki suraksha ka prarambh un cheezon ki pehchaan se hota hai jo jhikshan hain. Ye hai kaise batayein agar journal vaastavik hai ya sirf aapke prastuti kadar ke liye hai.
1. Prasiddh Indexes se Salah Len
Sabse surakshit journals pramukh shaikshanik data base mein listed hote hain.
Check kare ki journal in mein vyakti hai ki nahi:
Scopus
Web of Science
DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals)
COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics)
Agar ye kisi bhi mein listed nahi hai, khaas kar ke open-access journals ke cases mein, dekh bhach kar aage badhein.
2. Journal Practices ka Moolyankan Karen
Vaastavik journals apne karyabahi mein saaf hote hain.
Dhoondhein:
Saaf peer-review nitiya
Bharosemand sampadakiya mandli (unke praman patra dekhein)
Sahi lekhak maanyata aur naitik bayaan
Manayak DOI aur asli prabhav jankari (Journal Citation Reports ya Scimago ke madhyam se check karein)
Agar website lapruk hai, vivaran ki kami hai, ya jald dawe leta hai bina pramaan - yeh khatar aank uri se alaap hai.
3. Moolyankan Tools ka Upyog Karein
Nischit nahi kaise karein? Is samasya ke lie vishesh roop se banaye gaye tools ka upyog karein.
Beall’s List (archive hai par ab tak upyogi sandarbh ke liye)
Think. Check. Submit. – journals ke moolyankank ke lie ek checklist
Cabell’s Blacklist – subscription adharit, par ati vistrut
Pro tip: Hamesha ek se adhik srot ke saath cross-check karein apne lekh sirane se pehle.
Dhoka-Baazi Journals se Bachen aur Vishwas ke sath Prakashit Karein
Dhoka-Baazi journals aapke pratishtha ko prayog kar sakte hain aur aapke prayaaso ko bekaar kar sakte hain. Apne khoj ko suraksha dene ke liye prakashan vyavasthaon ko dhyan se dekhne, peer review transparency, prasiddh suchi karna, aur naitik prakashan reetiyon ka avlokan karna mahatvapurn hai.
Jab likhne, sudhaar karne, aur udghoshna ki baat aati hai, tab Jenni jaise upkaran aapke shaikshanik workflow ko streamline karne mein madad karte hain. Apne stroton ko sujhavikaran karne se lekar apne content ko safai se sanrachna karne tak, ye ek shodh sahayak jaise hai jab aapko iski zarurat ho.
