Abstract

Key points Hijacked journals mimic the name (and the ISSN) of a reputable journal with the sole purpose of financial exploitation. A hijacked journal is an even more pernicious scam than a predatory journal. Grounded in stakeholder theory, this opinion piece indicates that the hijackers are the sole stakeholder group that benefits from journal hijacking. Hijacked journals will continue to menace scholarly research and publishing unless all stakeholders take specific and coordinated actions against them.
