Shocking evidence that #PredatoryJournals are polluting #SystematicReviews. We should fight this side-effect of badly implemented #OpenScience and better foster #ResearchIntegrity.

NEW PUB ALERT🚨! We assessed the publication integrity and quality of trials in our systematic review and found 9% were published in a presumed predatory journal. These articles had higher risk of bias, poor methods and worse reporting. Read more here: https://t.co/feJK3x4ke4
