"What we want to emphasize is that all 107 papers that were revoked were not published in open access, so the authors of the 107 papers did not pay for the article processing. Since January 2017, another publisher took over Tumor. Biology (The Journal of Cancer Biology), which is now published in open access. We do not comment on the publications currently used in the journal."

The Springer Publishing Group said in a letter to the public on the 28th "Sansi School".
On April 20th, the academic publisher Springer Group issued a retraction statement announcing the withdrawal of 107 papers published in the journal Tumor Biology, and the main authors of the 107 medical papers were all from China. The large-scale retraction incident has aroused widespread concern and heated discussion.
On April 27th, “Sansipai†published the article “Professional Journal of Predatory Journals†published by Professor Jiang Xiaoyuan of Shanghai Jiaotong University. The article was reprinted by major media. Subsequently, the "Sansi School" received a statement from Springer.
In response to this statement, the Science and Technology Daily reporter contacted Jiang Xiaoyuan on the 29th. He still insisted on the previous point of view. "Springer's statement is definitely a matter of words, very cautious. In the statement, 107 articles did not pay for the article processing. Does the magazine charge a page fee? The magazine has not made any sound so far. In other words Third-party agencies charge the author a high fee. Can he send these papers for a penny? Jiang Xiaoyuan said on the phone, "In any case, magazines like Cancer Biology, It should be included in the blacklist of predatory journals."
6-year page fee exceeds 50 million yuan
"In the comments on the retraction incident, I still appreciate the "Academic Reputation" published in the journal "Biology Biology" of the 107 dismissed papers, praising the magazine 'high standards and strict requirements' 'justice', etc. This statement is at least due to the fact that it is quite ignorant of Western magazines. Jiang Xiaoyuan said that this is the reason why he wrote a signed article. "A large number of predatory journals make a lot of money in China, but they are not in full trial." The manuscript obligation, the purpose is to make a profit, this magazine should be blacklisted."
Jiang Xiaoyuan said that no one has a clear definition or quantitative standard for predatory journals. “But first of all, this journal publishes a large number of articles in each issue.â€
"The Journal of Cancer Biology" is published monthly. I randomly reviewed the first issue of 2016. It published 150 articles, totaling 1378 pages. Who has seen such a thick magazine?" Jiang Xiaoyuan asked.
The magazine's official website shows that in the six years from 2010 to 2016, the magazine published a total of 5,380 papers. According to authoritative publications, the magazine published a "page fee" of $1,500 for each article. According to Jiang Xiaoyuan's analysis, according to the above-mentioned "layout fee" price estimate, in the past 6 years, its "layout fee" income exceeded 8 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 50 million yuan.
Therefore, Jiang Xiaoyuan believes that according to the above-mentioned performance of the Journal of Cancer Biology, there is a huge, almost unconstrained length; a large number of papers are published in each issue; the publication of papers receives a high amount of “layout feesâ€; the review is not serious, “ The magazine is a 'predatory journal' that is widely condemned by the international academic community."
