Scientists warn #fakesciences research is spreading faster than real science | ScienceDaily
Global, organized enterprise involving #papermill brokers, and #predatoryJournals that systematically produce and sell #fakeresearch , #authorship slots, and citations

Could fake science be poisoning everything we trust?

With fraudulent research multiplying faster than retractions, can science protect its credibility before trust collapses? @PNASNews

What a night! Thank you to everyone who joined us for our public talk by @mja.com.au Editor-in-Chief, Professor Ginny Barbour, on 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, which painted a chilling picture of the #fakeresearch market and included strategies to support quality publishing ✅

Die Unterminierung der Forschung Fake News betreffen nicht nur Zeitungen oder Plattformen wie X, sondern auch die Wissenschaft. Renommierte Fachzeitschriften stehen vor einem wachsenden Problem. Sogenannte Aufsatzfabriken produzieren gefälschte Studien in großem Stil – und die Zeitschriften veröffentlichen sie immer öfter, weil sie nicht wissen, woran eine gut gemachte Fälschung zu erkennen ist.

Ein Phänomen, von dem auch Ingenieurwissenschaften und Informatik bei weitem nicht verschont sind.

11/ In a healthy political system, if a major public health report relied on fake studies, the people responsible would be held accountable—by resignation or worse. Why is this still being treated as credible? 🔍⚖️

5/ Worse yet, some of the studies cited don’t even make sense. Joanne McKenzie, a biostatistics professor, said a conclusion drawn from her work on antidepressants was totally fabricated. Her research didn’t even include psychotherapy. 🚫💊

‘Stamp out paper mills’ — science sleuths on how to fight fake research A group of scientists who are experts at spotting fraudulent research outline five essential steps to combat industrialized scientific misconduct.

“At least 400,000 papers published between 2000 and 2022 show the hallmarks of having been produced by paper mills.”

Gen AI is only making the problem worse.
