Abstract
Scholars have been suffering from scams involving counterfeit academic journals for a long time, and there has been a relatively clear analysis of the causes of counterfeiting and the governance path for it in existing studies. However, the authors reexamined the counterfeiting and found the problem still prevails. Through the analysis of the multiple players involved in counterfeiting, the author points out that the current personnel evaluation mechanism and journal evaluation system are the root causes of counterfeiting and thus offer corresponding suggestions for further improvement.
