[Purposes] This paper is to summarize the characteristic elements of Chinese predatory journals and provide references for scientific researchers and scientific research evaluation institutions to identify Chinese predatory journals. [Methods] Based on the grounded theory and semi-framework interviewsurvey,12 researchers with profound experience in the submission were selected for interviews. After analyzing the qualitative data of the interviews and categorizing and determining the relationships,the structure system of the characteristic elements of Chinese predatory journals was summarized. [Findings]Chinese predatory journals have 15 characteristics such as lowediting and proofreading quality,lowprinting quality,short reviewtime,and large amount of articles.[Conclusions]Researchers and research evaluation departments should combine the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the journals to comprehensively judge whether it is a predatory journal.
