Türkiye'deki Yağmacı Dergiler: Beall Listesi Üzerine Bir Araştırma.

In this study predatory journals originated from Turkey in the Beall list, which situated in the context of the literature as an authority, have been identified and studied in detail. Results show that 3.2% of the journals in the list originated from Turkey. Accordingly, it is seen Turkey ranks second after India in the list. While the number of Turkish journals in the list was at a certain level from 2003 to 2010 (seven journals in 2010), it started to show a sudden increase since 2011 and reached 41 in 2016. We believe that the criteria discussed by the researchers (the criteria set by Beall or the others who criticize the Beall list) will guide the researcher to determine the predatory journals in order to be able to avoid them.
