Hijacked or cloned journals are fake websites that imitate legitimate academic publishers. These scams use the names, ISSNs, and other details of real scholarly journals to trick researchers.

Turku University Library asks University of Turku researchers to check their publications in the UTUCRIS research information system and to report any missing publications published in 2024.
