Hallucinated citations are polluting the scientific literature. What can be done? Tens of thousands of publications from 2025 might include invalid references generated by AI, a Nature analysis suggests.

I just noticed this in a paper I was reading for my research (different journal), went citation chasing and the referenced article didn't exist!

Also noticing that some will cite papers that don't actually support what they stated - one actually contradicted the statement!

If we can't trust Springer Nature....
Those editors should be held accountable!

We have an undergraduate research journal for all programs: orb.binghamton.edu/alpenglowjou... The only grad journal we have is The Manuscript: Journal of Swift Studies (Yes, Taylor 🤪)

The JBI logo appears in the bottom right, bold white text reads “Methodology Month” on a rounded blue banner, set against a dark blue background with abstract connected lines and nodes representing diverse methodologies grounded in shared principles, forming clear, systematic pathways that guide users step by step to rigorous, transparent, and trustworthy evidence syntheses. The JBI logo depicts a pebble (‘evidence’) dropping into water, symbolising the ripple effect of positive change driven by evidence.

🔥 Hot tip! Before starting a systematic review, make sure an information scientist/research librarian is part of the review team. They have specialised skills to develop & implement a comprehensive search strategy 🔎

"Even if you patiently iterate—rephrase, expand, steer—today’s tools still tend to reproduce the existing shape of the literature rather than challenge it. And for reflexive, field-shaping work, that’s the whole game." #SystematicReviews #medlibs #EvidenceSynthesis

What I love about a temperature like this is that it’s so cold you don’t really need to ask whether it’s Fahrenheit or Celsius.
