Nieuczciwe praktyki wydawnicze
Od pewnego czasu nasila się na świecie zjawisko nieuczciwych praktyk wydawni- czych, których celem jest wyciąganie pieniędzy od osób zainteresowanych publikowaniem swoich tekstów za granicą. W związku z koniecznością gromadzenia dorobku naukowego umożliwiającego dalszą karierę naukową i zmianami reguł osiągania kolejnych stopni na- ukowych (liczba cytowań) polskie środowisko naukowe może być szczególnie narażone na tego typu niebezpieczeństwa. Korzystając z tego, że „Forum Socjologiczne” pełni funk- cję informacyjną, zamieszczam przykład, jak wygląda taki proceder.

Oprócz niegramatycznego tytułu treść wiadomości w pierwszej chwili nie wzbudziła mojego niepokoju. Zawsze to miło, że ktoś nas docenia i zwraca się z propozycją publika- cji. Zaskakujący wydał mi się krótki termin recenzji. Ponieważ nigdy nie słyszałem o „So- ciology Study”, zacząłem pytać znajomych naukowców i szukać informacji w internecie.
W efekcie okazało się, że o piśmie nikt nic nie wie, a na stronie internetowej International Sociological Association (http://www.isa-sociology.org/publ/warning.htm) można zna- leźć ostrzeżenie dotyczące praktyk wydawcy opisywanego miesięcznika.
Okazuje się, że po wysłaniu artykułu do wydawcy możemy spodziewać się niezapo- wiedzianych żądań fi nansowych warunkujących umieszczenie go w druku. Deklarowany termin recenzowania tekstów i przesyłania ich autorowi do ewentualnych poprawek każe zastanawiać się, czy ktoś je w ogóle czyta. Na stronie wydawcy (http://www.davidpub- lishing.org/), w zakładkach „About Us” i „Partner” nie ma żadnych wiadomości, chociaż strona na pierwszy rzut oka sprawia profesjonalne wrażenie. Nasilający się problem nie- uczciwych praktyk wydawniczych opisany jest szczegółowo na stronie http://weeklytrust.
