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.
