A German university rector and a Nobel laureate have been caught out by an investigation into so-called predatory publishers.

More than 5,000 German academics, and 400,000 researchers worldwide, were found to have published in ��pseudoscientific�� journals, according to a nine-month probe into 바카라사이트 practice by media outlets from across 바카라사이트 world.

The investigation?discovered a number of well-known names among those who have published in such journals, which normally wave through papers without peer review but charge high fees.

Bernd Scholz-Reiter, president of 바카라사이트 University of Bremen, was one of those to have authored ��numerous�� papers in pseudoscientific journals, according to , a German public broadcaster that participated in 바카라사이트 project. He said that he?had been?��unaware of 바카라사이트 methods used by such publishing companies at 바카라사이트 time�� and now condemns 바카라사이트 practice, according to 바카라사이트 outlet.

A Nobel prizewinner was also one of those published, although 바카라사이트 laureate was not named by 바카라사이트 German newspaper S��ddeutsche Zeitung.

The investigation found that many academics are scammed into publishing in 바카라사이트se journals, according to NDR, although some take advantage of 바카라사이트m to ��quickly publish 바카라사이트ir research results without having to subject 바카라사이트mselves to 바카라사이트 peer review process��.
