RESUMEN - Se analiza la problemática de las revistas y editoriales depredadoras en el campo de la salud, identificando sus características y los conocimientos adquiridos. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura en salud indexada en ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, SciELO y Web of Science a lo largo de 2020 y 2021 en marzo de 2022. Se constató la creciente preocupación por revistas y editoriales depredadoras en los últimos años, especialmente a partir de 2015 y confirmada a partir de 2017. Las cifras de 2021 y primeros meses de 2022 acompañan esta escalada. Web of Science, Scopus y PubMed son las bases de datos que muestran una clara preocupación por las ciencias de la salud. Como conclusión, la presión por publicar y la dificultad para distinguir la revista legítima de la ilegítima propician un ambiente favorable a la proliferación de publicaciones cuestionables. Los investigadores deben tomar una postura exigente e informada en interés de la confiabilidad de la ciencia, desarrollando buenas prácticas de investigación, evitando la inclusión de datos falsos, plagiados o manipulados, que perjudiquen la calidad de los resultados y conclusiones, influyendo negativamente en la evidencia científica, la práctica clínica y, en última instancia, los pacientes.
ABSTRACT - The problem of predatory journals and publishers in the health field is analyzed, identifying characteristics and the insights acquired. A review of health literature indexed in ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, and Web of Science was conducted in 2020 and 2021. The data survey was confirmed in March 2022. The analysis allowed the characterization of the phenomenon and verify the negative effects on the health sciences, and therefore a set of recommendations was written for the researchers. A growing apprehension with predatory journals and publishers was evidenced over the past few years, especially from 2015, and confirmed since 2017. Figures for 2021 and the first months of 2022 follow this increase. The Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed are the databases that show a notorious concern with health sciences. The pressure to publish and the difficulty in discerning legitimate journals from illegitimate ones foster a favorable environment for the proliferation of questionable publications. Researchers should assume good research practices with a demanding and informed attitude on behalf of the reliability of science, by avoiding the inclusion of false, plagiarized, or manipulated data, which damage the quality of the results and conclusions, influencing scientific evidence, clinical practice, and ultimately the patients, in a negative way.
