結果呢?調查顯示，自2013年以來，全球約40萬名研究人員曾在這些虛假學術期刊上發表文章。
The publishers target individual scientists by email, charge high fees in exchange forpublication, and forego international peer-review standards to publish quickly and frequently.
這些出版商寫郵件給世界各地的科學家，收取高額費用爲其發表文章，爲了更快更多地發表文章，還放棄了國際同行評審的標準。
Some of these pseudo-scientific journals also publish work from employees of pharmaceuticalcompanies.
在這些虛假學術期刊上，有一些還刊登了製藥公司員工的論文。
Some members of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) reported that "In addition to failing to perform peer or editorial committee reviews of articles, thecompanies charge to publish articles, accept papers by employees of pharmaceutical and othercompanies as well as by climate-change skeptics promoting questionable theories."
國際調查記者同盟的一些成員報告稱：“除了沒有對文章進行同行評議或編委會審查外，這些公司還通過收費發佈文章，接受制藥和其他公司員工以及氣候變化懷疑論者的論文。”
Stefan Hell, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2014, told ICIJ that the pseudo-sciencecultivated through predatory publishing is an issue that demands action.
2014年諾貝爾化學獎得主斯特凡·黑爾向國際調查記者同盟透露，通過假期刊培養僞科學是一個亟待採取行動處理的問題。
"If there is a system behind it," Hall said, "and there are people who aren't just duped by it butwho take advantage of it, then it has to be shut down."
黑爾說：“如果這背後有一個系統，並且有些人不只是被欺騙了，而且在利用這種系統，那麼這種系統必須被關閉。”
