from European firms, EIB Working Papers, No. 2026-02, hdl.handle.net/10419/335876

Every now and then, we read that AI-generated articles are flooding repositories and journals. Having a dedicated journal for AI-generated articles seems like a logical, more honest, and transparent solution. I am curious to see how the "Journal for AI-Generated Papers" (jaigp.org) develops.

So far in February, we have uploaded 1,187 documents (papers, articles) to EconStor. If you are interested, here is a link to a simple search on EconStor that lists these new documents:
