Is Kexue Tongbao/Chinese Science Bulletin a Legitimate Journal? Concerns About Its Scopus Q2 Ranking
Maher Ali Rusho
I've recently come across several journals that raise serious concerns regarding their legitimacy, yet some of them have managed to secure a spot in the Scopus database. A prime example is the International Journal of Chemical and Biochemical Sciences (ISSN 2226-9614), which has a notably poor-quality website that clearly doesn't meet the standards expected of reputable academic journals. Although this journal has since been delisted from Scopus, the fact that it was ever included is alarming.
Another example is Kexue Tongbao/Chinese Science Bulletin (https://www.kexuetongbao-csb.com/), which despite its unprofessional presentation, holds a Q2 ranking in Scopus.
This brings up several important questions:
- How do journals like these manage to bypass Scopus' evaluation standards and achieve high rankings?
- Is there a possibility that these journals are engaging in unethical practices to manipulate their inclusion and ranking in Scopus?
- Could there be political or other non-academic factors influencing these decisions within the Scopus community?
- What measures should be taken to prevent such journals from misleading researchers and degrading the integrity of academic publishing?
I’m interested in hearing the community's thoughts, particularly from those with experience in academic publishing, journal evaluation, and Scopus indexing.
This should help stimulate a discussion on the practices and potential issues within the academic publishing world.
