Publication Concerns |
"Publication Concerns" is a general category that indicates that a journal has had problems with publications that may be negative for its reputation or the credibility of the scientific papers it publishes. Such reasons include: questionable publication practices; low-quality articles that do not meet scientific standards; data falsification; non-compliance with Scopus standards and requirements, etc.
The Radar tool detects unusual behavior in journals and is useful for identifying potential anomalies in scientific publications. Such anomalies can indicate various problems, such as malpractice, manipulation of indicators, or unusual changes in the internal processes of a publication.
The quality of content is a primary and key criterion for Scopus, as the database is used to evaluate scientific achievements, disseminate new knowledge, and promote the development of the scientific community.
