Predatory articles cited in non-predatory journals

An interesting study which looks at the extent to which predatory nursing journals are cited in non-predatory nursing journals. I will pull out a passage from the end where it says:
"Information literacy skills education should include not only the importance of reviewing the content of the literature, but also the source. This includes the characteristics and practices of predatory publishers, which may help consumers of nursing research and other types of literature proceed with caution as they consider the content published by these outlets."
They give details of how they identified the 127 predatory journals, and the non-predatory jouranls. Key findings were that "There were 814 citations to articles published in predatory nursing journals." "Predatory journal articles were cited in all types of non predatory nursing journals." and "Nurse authors, reviewers, and editors must be able to identify predatory articles."
