This is not the full story.<p>That specific journal was targeted because they published an article in favour of Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin back in July by a team of French doctors (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.journalajmah.com&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;AJMAH&#x2F;article&#x2F;view&#x2F;30224" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.journalajmah.com&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;AJMAH&#x2F;article&#x2F;view&#x2F;30...</a>)<p>That same article was then cited by French member of parliament Martine Wonner as being sufficiently peer reviewed and having the same value as a paper published by Lancet, with intent to let doctors prescribe hcq as they see fit.<p>Details (in French): <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mimiryudo.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2020&#x2F;08&#x2F;le-meilleur-article-de-tous-les-temps&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mimiryudo.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2020&#x2F;08&#x2F;le-meilleur-article-de...</a>

It&#x27;s a predatory journal, so what else would you expect?<p>There is a reason why these are ignored in Academia or might even get you into trouble with your university and&#x2F;or funding authorities if you publish in one of those. They prey on postdocs who are under insane publication pressures - the amount of high quality publications that used to ensure you&#x27;re getting tenure nowadays barely manage to get you a temporary follow-up postdoc grant. I&#x27;ve personally been in committees for crappy short-term postdoc calls in which the majority of candidates should have been assistant professors.<p>These journals will publish <i>anything</i>, they are only in it for the money. Nobody reads them and if they are in your CV they count against you. Academics are bombarded with &quot;invitations&quot; to those predatory journals, I&#x27;m getting several mails a day and sometimes even have to check carefully because they tend to have almost the same title as highly reputable journals. To be fair, it&#x27;s quite easy to recognize them once you see their &quot;publication fees&quot;.<p>I&#x27;m personally more worried about the many non-predatory crap journals that reside in some grey zone, since many colleagues successfully overinflate their CVs with the help of those and in some countries universities are relying way too much on mere indicator counting in their hiring policies. Quality research takes time and there is a race to mediocrity at some places in some disciplines. (Arguably, this does not apply to the top universities but most universities are not top, of course.)

&gt; A fake paper is fabricated research, which falls under the definition of misconduct. So should the authors of such spoof papers, who write those with the intention to expose flaws in the peer-review process of predatory journals be accused of misconduct themselves? There have been many discussions about that, such as in the case of the Sokal Hoax, where the author of the fake paper was accused of deceit.<p>Another professor, Peter Boghossian, who did something like this was actually banned from further research by Portland State University.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.campusreform.org&#x2F;?ID=13489" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.campusreform.org&#x2F;?ID=13489</a>

Sadly people can now believe anything and cite a paper (or, a random blog) to prove said belief. That Didier Raoult basically got exposed and his reputation torn apart (1) (imo justifiably, his drug trial showing the effectiveness of the drug was dodgy), but I&#x27;ve seen a Facebook contact from France defend him saying he was being tarnished by &quot;the elite&#x2F;MSM&quot;.<p>Another contact I know shares &quot;Bill Gates did it&quot;&#x2F;&quot;wants to kill us all starting with the Africans using &#x27;vaccines&#x27;&quot; stories, and she claims she&#x27;s not the one being brainwashed, but mainstream media readers are, because MSM are controlled by the Rothschilds and Rockerfellers...<p>(1) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;05&#x2F;12&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;didier-raoult-hydroxychloroquine.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;05&#x2F;12&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;didier-raoult-hy...</a>
