学术出版领域正面临一波有组织的诈骗浪潮。自2025年3月至2026年7月，至少64家学术期刊发布了警惕"编委招募诈骗"的声明[1]。其中，仅在2026年4—7月间，就有超过40家期刊密集发声[1]，表明这一问题日益严峻。
诈骗分子通过仿冒期刊邮件和搭建假网站，以"编委招募"为名义收集学者个人信息[1]。这些假邮件多采用公共邮箱而非官方域名、采取群发方式、缺乏个人称呼，申请表中还包含"论文服务需求调查"等异常项[1]。一旦获取学者信息，诈骗团伙随之以收取编委费、版面费等名目进行诈骗，或推销论文代写代发等付费服务[1]。这一手段之所以奏效，在于其精准利用了学术界对编委身份的重视。
A coordinated fraud scheme has exploited the academic community's pursuit of editorial positions, with at least 64 scholarly journals issuing warnings against recruitment-related scams between March 2025 and July 2026 [1]. The fraudulent operation intensified dramatically in early 2026, as more than 40 journals issued alerts within just four months from April to July [1].
The scam operates through a multi-stage approach: fraudsters impersonate legitimate journals by sending fake recruitment emails to solicit scholar information, then monetize the collected contacts by charging fees for editorial board positions, publication charges, or offering paid services for manuscript writing and submission [1]. The fake emails display telltale signs of deception, including the use of public email addresses rather than official domain names, mass distribution without personalized greetings, and suspicious elements such as "paper service requirement surveys" embedded in editor application forms [1].
