Apakah index copernicus merupakan index palsu?

 Medical Council of India (MCI)  fixed some indexing agencies in which journals should be indexed to be counted as legible publication. Among the agencies, there is an indexing agency, called “Index Copernicus (IC).” Many critics have described IC as dubious indexing agency and there is an ongoing discussion about its credibility.[2] We never read a review paper which collected literature from “Index Copernicus.” It contains a huge number (44,583) of journals indexed and the journal details can be found from their website. The numbers of total journals are increasing day by day. Figure 1 is the screenshot captured from IC website showing the number of journals indexed per country according to color density. India has the maximum number of journals (3978) which is 8.92% of the total indexed journals indexed in IC.[3]“Index Copernicus” and “Index Copernicus Value (ICV)” are two commonly used phrases in unsolicited email invitation sent to authors from predatory journals.
