Some of these journals are considered \u201cpredatory.\u201d There has been no published attempt to see if bogus otolaryngological articles would be accepted by such journals. We sent a fake article describing a supposed otosclerotic lesion localized in the fallopian tube and surgically treated by phacoemulsification of the stapes to 41 such journals. Eight journals accepted the paper, 7 requested structural revision, 2 requested revision even though the reviewer recommended rejection, 4 rejected the paper only because they found it had already been published by another open access journal (without the authors\u2019 knowledge), and 2 rejected the paper. Eighteen journals had not responded after 6 weeks. A contemporary retelling of the poem \u201cThe Fox and the Crow\u201d concludes our article, which illustrates predatory practices among specific open access otolaryngology journals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599819838756","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,28]],"date-time":"2019-05-28T04:46:10Z","timestamp":1559018770000},"page":"193-194","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The Fox and the Crow: Predatory Open Access Journals in Otolaryngology"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"161","author":[{"given":"Albert","family":"Mudry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology Head &amp; Neck Surgery Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford California USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert J.","family":"Ruben","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Otorhinolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery and Pediatrics Albert Einstein College of Medicine Montefiore Medical Center Bronx New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599817752131"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","article-title":"The problem of predatory journals","author":"Budd K","year":"2019","journal-title":"AAMC News"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599817752131"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.342.6154.60"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.354.6308.23"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","unstructured":"Aesop.The fox and the crow.https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Fox_and_the_Crow_(Aesop).
