| Sumario: | This work analyzes the impact of the expulsion of 82 journals (15 of them mega-journals) from Web of Science on March 20, 2023, on the science produced in Spain. It shows their weight by universities and focuses on the production of International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health -IJERPH (MDPI), the journal with the most Spanish publications in recent years and that has been expelled. If mega-journals account for 62%, IJERPH has 78.5% of the total. Private and smaller universities seem to have more dependence on these journals. Only in IJERPH, Spanish articles have had a total cost above 12 million euros in the last 5 years. The document reflects on the perversions derived from the Spanish evaluation system, its protagonists and how these demerits are encouraged, by not being persecuted, but rewarded. |
