Clarivate is committed to supporting the integrity of the scholarly record and taking proactive steps to counter the increasing threats to it. Examples of these threats can include:
Duplicate or fake websites impersonating legitimate journal websites utilizing the title, ISSN and other information of the reputable journal, sometimes known as hijacked journals.
Paper mills that produce and sell manuscripts containing fabricated or manipulated research and submit these manuscripts for publication on behalf of the authors. They may also manipulate the peer review process by faking the identity of peer reviewers and submitting fabricated peer review reports. Paper mills often target Special Issues managed by Guest Editors outside the journal’s usual peer review and manuscript handling workflows.
If a concern is raised about a journal, Clarivate will engage in a re-evaluation process in accordance with the editorial selection criteria.
Only journals that meet the 24 rigorous selection criteria are selected for inclusion.
For details see the Web of Science Core CollectionTM editorial selection process.
