International Mathematical Organizations Publish Report on Fraudulent Publishing Practices
By
bikenaga
Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
A joint working group from the International Mathematical Union and International Council of Industrial and Applied Mathematics has published the first of two reports analyzing fraudulent publishing practices in mathematical sciences. The report examines current publishing problems and promises a follow-up publication with concrete recommendations, guidelines, and best practices for detecting and counteracting attempts to manipulate bibliometric measures.
