摘　　要：The rise of the“fishing reviewer”phenomenon presents a significant threat to the integrity of academic publishing,undermining the credibility of the peer review process and eroding trust in scientific journals.This editorial explores the risk factors contributing to this troubling trend and identifies key indicators to recognize such reviewers.To address this issue,we propose strategies,including enhanced reviewer vetting,comprehensive training,and transparent recognition policies to foster a culture of accountability and ethical conduct in scholarly review.By implementing these measures,we can safeguard the quality and credibility of academic research.
