Litt om problemene med Oncotarget kan også leses her:
https://scienceintegritydigest.com/2019/12/22/oncotarget/
Oncotarget har et svært dårlig rykte blant seriøse forskere.

Redaktør og sentrale personer i editorial board har et frynsete rykte, med en rekke tvilsomme vitenskapelige artikler (rapportert i PubPeer). En artikkel ang. dette er skrevet av Leonard Schneider:

https://forbetterscience.com/2019/07/27/blagosklonnys-lawyer-threatens-me-to-love-oncotarget-or-else/

Tidsskriftet har til tider hatt en uvanlig høy selvsitering, en teknikk som benyttes for å øke tidsskriftets IF.

Vi har i mange år identifisert helt åpenbare forfalskninger i et stort antall artikler publisert i Oncotarget. De har riktignok begynt å følge opp etter mye press, men fortsatt følges bekymringsmeldinger dårlig opp og det er mange eksempler på at helt åpenbar manipulering blir korrigert. Dette tar også svært lang tid. Alt dette er dokumenter i PubPeer, og jeg kan gi noen eksempler her:

Eks på at redaksjonen ikke følger opp:

Eks på hvor langt tid det tar før redaksjoen trekker artikler:

Jeg vil anbefale at Oncotarget ikke lenger listes som et nivå 0 eller 1 tidsskrift.
Hei,
Oncotarget er nå fjernet fra OUS sin liste over journaler med IF >5, https://www.ous-research.no/home/institute/Publications/9914

I tillegg har Karolinska Institutet konkludert med «From a KI viewpoint this also means that articles published in Oncotarget from 2018 will not be included in bibliometric analyses, including data supplied to the resource allocation model.» https://ki.se/en/staff/the-journal-oncotarget-now-also-delisted-from-web-of-science

Fra wiki: «In 2017, the journal was dropped from MEDLINE.[1][2] In 2018 Clarivate Analytics delisted the journal from the Journal Citation Reports and all of its other products because "the journal no longer meets the standards necessary for continued coverage"…

Hei,

Tidsskriftet er vedtatt å settes ned til null, etter en vurdering av fagorganet.
