摘　　要：“掠夺性期刊”已成为全球学界共同面临的议题。过往研究多以伪科学期刊称呼这类期刊,然而,这种称呼强调的是知识的生产,而“掠夺性期刊”涉及的是知识的传播,不免存在分析上的落差。论文从默顿的科学社会学着手,视学术期刊为一种制度性的建构,其中涉及的制度包含编辑委员会、同侪评阅与稿件登记制的建立,而“掠夺性期刊”除了将这些制度商品化之外,也以低廉的出版费用诱使资源不足的学者投稿。这造成学术共同体对学术期刊的共识被打破,也让重点大学与一般大学的学者,彼此之间基于科学规范的整合更为不易。Predatory journals have become a common issue facing the global academic community􀆰Previous studies have mostly used the concept of pseudoscience to analyze such journals􀆰These,however,focus on the production of knowledge,while predatory journals involve the dissemination of knowledge,which is significantly different at the level of analysis􀆰Starting from Merton's sociology of science,this article regards academic journals as an institutional construction,including the establishment of editorial boards,peer review and the date of manuscript registration􀆰In addition to commoditize such institutions,predatory journals also use low publishing fees to entice scholars who have insufficient resources to contribute their papers􀆰This has broken the scientific community's consensus on academic journals,and has also made it more difficult for scholars to integrate with each other based on scientific norms between those who are affiliated to leading universities and those to common universities.
