English abstract

Academic publications are moving from a pay-per-read model to a pay-per-publication model. These journals are free to read, but they charge upfront publication fees to the author (APCs). Although many of the open access journals are legal and reputable, there is a thriving black market economy of open access journals that take advantage of authors and the increasing pressure to publish that is being exerted on the academic community. These are so-called predatory journals that mask existing publications for the sole purpose of financial gain. This article analyses the phenomenon, the forms it takes, the agents, the consequences and the pollution on the scientific communication system.

Spanish abstract

Las publicaciones académicas están pasando de un modelo de pago por lectura a otro de pago por publicación. Estas revistas son libres de leer, pero cobran por adelantado las tasas de publicación al autor (APCs). Aunque muchas de las revistas de acceso abierto son legales y de buena reputación, existe una próspera economía de mercado negro de revistas de acceso abierto que se aprovechan de los autores y de la creciente presión para publicar que se ejerce sobre la comunidad académica. Son las llamadas revistas depredadoras que enmascaran publicaciones existentes con el único objetivo de obtener un beneficio económico. En este artículo se analiza el fenómeno, las formas que presenta, los agentes, las consecuencias y la contaminación sobre el sistema de comunicación científica.
