| Core Tip |
“Fishing reviewers” conduct superficial peer reviews to gain recognition without providing meaningful feedback. This practice undermines the integrity of academic publishing by allowing substandard research to pass through the review process. Recognizing and addressing this issue is crucial for maintaining the credibility of scholarly communication. By implementing targeted strategies to identify and combat “fishing reviewers”, we can preserve the quality and reliability of scientific journals. |
