Currently, more and more emphasis is placed on the scientist not only to publish but mainly on being cited. In recent years, the world of academic research and publication has been invaded by low-quality and commercial journals that imitate serious peer-reviewed scientific journals. These journals often parasitize on the names of prestigious journals and state that they have a high impact factor. The work aims to present what the impact factor is and how it can be verified so that the publishing author does not send an article to an undesired journal.

After decades of use, the consumption of suxamethonium is decreasing. Anesthetists - and not only they - became accustomed to its use.

Available data show that suxamethonium is still used, although the scope of its indications has diminished. Its use is appropriate during crash induction to anesthesia or whenever the need to secure the airways quickly arises, in ENT and dental or maxillofacial surgery, during electroshock therapy, and in managing certain complications of anesthesia. Like with the use of all neuromuscular...

Questionable (predatory) journals

Musil V.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2022;33(5):217-222 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2022.044  

In the last decade, academics and researchers have been flooded with emails from lower-quality and commercial journals to publish in them. As the scientific quality of authors is judged according to metrics such as impact factors, authors are always looking for new opportunities to publish. This situation is an advantage for publishers using unfair practices. If the authors send their work to such a journal, not only do they not have an article in a quality magazine, but they also lose a considerable amount of money.
