Company Scopus began the annual cleaning of the log that are not related to science.

Company or the international database of scientific publications Scopus cleared my library from the fake journals, among which were more than 250 editions of scientists of Kazakhstan. According to the source more than a third of all authors are published in journals beginning in 2013.

The publishing company of America cleaned your base against unpopular publications. Last year was cleared of 299 journals in Kazakhstan, now this figure increased to 424 units.

Among well-known scientists, who published their work in magazines-'predators' as well as in the publications that were excluded from the database Scopus, the rector of the University, the rector of KazNU, academician of National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Director of Kazakhstan Institute for strategic studies.

More than 250 articles in 2017 Kazakhstan scientists published in in false usnih publications. Such publications in the scientific community called predatory or trash: the scientific value of these magazines do not have, and publish articles for a certain financial contribution from the authors. The average cost for publishing in a fake journal about 1 500 dollars.

To attract the authors 'predatory' publishers declare false indexed in Scopus, is credited with the merit of others, the names of famous scientists to the approval of the research which these scientists don't even know. Sometimes I write impact factor (citation index, an indicator of the importance of a scientific journal) by the same fake non-existent companies.
