Order data

Overview Description Data

Creator/Principal investigator(s):

Gustaf Nelhans - University of Borås

Description:

The overall scope of this study is an attempt at a methodological framework for matching publication lists at the national level against a combined set of blacklists for questionable publishing. Using the total verified set of publications from Swedish Higher Education Institutions (HEI) as a case, we examined the number, distribution, and proportion of publishing in questionable journals at the national level. Supplemental data, as well as the raw matched data so that tables and figures in the article can be reproduced. Additionally, a list of all matched outlets, along with the total number of matched articles are presented here. Publication data is matched at journal level against HEIs. No article ids are provided in the data set.
