    Journal Article, Transcript

    ...the number of scientific journals indexed by the Web of Science has increased by 66% since 2000, from 7383 to 12 271. According to an investigation by the German Public Broadcasters NDR and WDR, together with the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, predatory journals have involved ^400 000 scientists globally. ...the latter are still the largest group of authors. There is evidence that some authors purposefully publish in these journals to create a quantitatively impressive publication list, so as to mislead promotion committees. ...maybe the correct analogy is not of predator and prey, but one of symbiosis.
