Ermüdend über #PaperMills und Untergang des wiss. Publikationsystems zu lesen. Dahinter steckt eine Engführung auf das kaputte lebens- und naturwissenschaftliche #Publikationssystem. Das war schon vor #KI und hinüber und kippt jetzt endgültig. In den Geisteswissenschaften kann ich alle diese […]

Thanks so much @ludowaltman.bsky.social and everyone at @cwtsnl.bsky.social for hosting me on my recent visit to Leiden. The company, discussions, weather and food were all next level

I’ve investigated how #PaperMills are polluting the scientific literature with fraudulent articles, illegitimate co-authors, and bought-off citations.

What surprised me what the efforts made by some publishers to fight this off. 1/2
Il faut lire l'abstract de l'article cité😱: Scancar Baptiste, Byrne Jennifer A., Causeur David et Barnett Adrian G., « Machine learning based screening of potential paper mill publications in cancer research: methodological and cross sectional study » doi.org/10.1136/bmj-...

I was delighted to speak at the Symposium der Ombudspersonen für Gute Wissenschaftliche Praxis in Deutschland about the challenges posed by #papermills.
Commercialization of fraud threatens research integrity, undermines the reliability of data,& leads to significant losses of time & resources 1/3
#PaperMills & the quiet crisis in academic publishing
The rise of industrial-scale #AcademicFraud is reaching unprecedented levels and is at the centre of a surge in fallacious research. By Seb Murray.

Maybe... the big profits are going to the big publishers, who benefit from publishing AI slop & junk from #PaperMills. New APC journals become new venues for these products, particularly when there's no need for more journals, in terms of availability/ numbers of quality scientific manuscripts
Love seeing new alternative publishing initiatives popping up like this one! It's not going to solve all publishing issues -they remain vulnerable to #papermills- but at least it helps deflating the economic bubble hosted by big for-profit publishers!💸😄
New paper mill detection model flags 10% of all cancer articles as potentially coming from paper mills.
Huge congratulations @baptscc.bsky.social on an incredible first published paper with @aidybarnett.bsky.social @jabyrnesci.bsky.social

How many #CancerResearch papers may have been contributed to the literature by #PaperMills? We try to put numbers to this problem in our @bmj.com paper by @aidybarnett.bsky.social @aushsi.bsky.social & colleagues. Thank-you @nhmrc.bsky.social for funding

The number of fake scientific papers produced by #PaperMills is doubling every 1.5 years. One of the researchers who uncovered this fact is calling for greater action.👇

Pleased to share that we were awarded a 2026 #NHMRC Ideas grant via @sydney.edu.au to study/ raise awareness of published human #CellLines that may not exist. It was a tough year, but this outcome shows that NHMRC can fund topics in #metascience, as well as laboratory & clinical research

Fake journals abound, and as Sergeant Phil Esterhaus used to say on Hill Street Blues, "Let's be careful out there."

Got a scientific paper that seems 'sus'? Scan it for free at nullhypothesis.ai - we'll look for tortured phrases, a sure sign of paper mill activity. #science #publichealth #papermills #fraud
🧐 Stay skeptical
2 similar announces "call for paper", same image, logo, etc on Bluesky by user "Dr Papiy..." - profile picture blurred, handle deleted - above: "journal or rare cardiovascular diseases (JRCD) - below: "journal of cular dise carcinogenesis"
This looks like genuine, indeed 🙄

Immer größer werden die Flutwellen, mit denen #PaperMills und #Raubverlage Junk-Publikationen in den Scientific Record zu spülen versuchen. Dummerweise müssen die ehrlichen Forschenden diesen Misthaufen mitbezahlen – wie hier in unserem Blog erklärt: www.laborjournal.de/blog/?p=14693
