Hallucinated References: Five Excuses for Academic Misconduct When I proposed rejecting papers with hallucinated references, the support was overwhelming. But the critical voices revealed five argument patterns: from AI hype through TINA rhetoric to nihilism.

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

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!💸😄
