Objectives
To compare the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in predatory and nonpredatory journals in the field of physical therapy. Data Sources From a list of 18 journals included either on Beall’s list (n=9) or in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) (n=9), 2 independent assessors extracted all the RCTs published between 2014 and 2017. When journals published more than 40 RCTs, a sample of 40 trials was randomly extracted, preserving the proportions among years. Indexing in PubMed, country of journal publication, and dates of submission or acceptance were also recorded for each journal. Main Outcome Measures The PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) scale and duration of the peer review. Results Four hundred ten RCTs were included. The mean PEDro score of articles published in non-Beall, DOAJ journals was higher than those published in Beall journals (mean score ± SD, 5.8±1.7 vs 4.5±1.5; P<.001 with the differences increasing when indexing in pubmed was also considered vs p peer review duration significantly longer non-beall than beall journals sd and indexed nonindexed strongest independent variable associated pedro score r2="0.182)," but noninclusion on list explained an additional albeit small portion of variance adjusted> Conclusions Potentially predatory journals publish lower-quality trials and have a shorter peer review process than non-Beall journals included in the DOAJ database. |
