Note: Many entries on these lists will be things that should not normally in found in a |journal= parameter. They are included for two main reasons:

  1. poor template usage – for example, if a website/publisher is put in a journal parameter by mistake (|journal=UnreliableWebsite.com) these will be picked up
  2. redirect detection – oftentimes Wikipedia will not have an article about a specific journal, but it will have a redirect to its publisher (Unreliable Journal → Foo Society of Nonsense) or some other relevant article (Unreliable Journal → Founding editor)

Unreliable fields

[edit]

Note: Most of these categories don't contain publications themselves, but are listed so that publications that redirect to unreliable people and organizations (e.g. Progress in Complexity, Information, and DesignInternational Society for Complexity, Information, and Design) get included in the compilation.

Hijacked journals

[edit]

Hijacked journals are journals whose "websites or branding have been co-opted by a predatory journal or publisher". Meaning that these are legitimate publications, but with fraudsters posing as them.
