The demanding promotion of university professors is being taken advantage of by international publishers to develop a fast business, that is framed in supposedly fraudulent activities of apparently scientific magazines, but without impact indexes that some experts already qualify as "epidemic" (García-Puente, 2019) and "plague" (Silva, 2016). This research uses the mystery client technique (Morena, 2013) to respond to an intentional sample of call for papers (CFP) submitted to researchers between January and April 2020, with a previously published article, that was intentionally altered to appear to be a scientific paper, but which violates the guidelines of originality and rigor: the order of the paragraphs is altered and translated into English with DeepL, without subsequent monitoring. During the period, 98 PICs were received and 38 submissions were made. The results are eloquent: none has been rejected, and within an average of 6 days 17 publication acceptances are confirmed. In all cases, payment is requested in advance. The article allows us to identify the profile of the journals, their recruitment strategies, the use of claims of: indexing, ethical standards and peer review and the naming strategies to simulate international prestige.

La investigación se centra en analizar la interacción en la gestión de comunicación online para generar valor y para ello analiza las webs y la participación en redes sociales generalistas de las televisiones públicas europeas. Se presta atención preferente a los contenidos corporativos y a la información emitida por las cadenas públicas sobre si mismas para aproximarse a sus niveles de transparencia, de honestidad y de compromiso social que influyen en su reputación como corporación. Se revisan las características de su modelo de interrelación con las audiencias externas y se identifican y analizan los documentos o protocolos de normas o recomendaciones de gestión de actuación en redes sociales (guidelines) para públicos internos. El objetivo es identificar políticas de gestión de social media en entornos públicos y, preferentemente de las principales cadenas de televisión europeas, y analizar su contribución a la creación de lo púbico como valor asociado a su imagen. Para el análisis de interactividad se trabaja sobre una muestra de siete emisoras: RTVE (España), France Televisions (Francia), RAI (Italia), BBC (Gran Bretaña), RTP (Portugal) y ARD/ ZDF (Alemania) Para el estudio de las guidelines se recurre, además, a una comparativa de las televisiones europeas con las guías de entidades referenciales en el ámbito de la comunicación en Estados Unidos y Canadá: NPR (EEUU), CBC (Canadá), las agencias de noticias Associated Press y Reuters, y los diarios The Washington Post y Los Ángeles Times.

In this paper is demonstrated how the establishment of consolidated relationships in the virtual social contexts and the development of linked practices related to the viral marketing can alter the traditional process of informative production. The media agenda had always been built with the share of the media and their sources, but currently many users' active involvement on the internet has repercussions in the creation of contents that themselves create and they spread via viral techniques. These contents are not journalistic information in many cases, but when they reach repercussion, they finish being news and accessing to the agenda media, so that the users are who promote contents that media publish. This phenomenon is materialized in the federal elections in Mexico in 2007, where the political and citizen involvements in the new virtual scenarios finish for modifying the agenda of traditional media and, even, for changing the political reality of the country.
