Hinter diesen Täuschungen stehen organisierte Netzwerke, sogenannte Paper Mills, die massenweise gefälschte Studien produzieren. Auf den ersten Blick wirken sie seriös, doch in Wahrheit bestehen sie aus erfundenen Daten und geschönten Ergebnissen. Damit gerät das Fundament der Wissenschaft, die Suche nach Wahrheit, ins Wanken. In vielen Ländern, darunter China und Indien, gilt nach wie vor das Prinzip „Publish or Perish“. Wer viele Artikel publiziert, erlangt Ansehen, Fördergelder und Karrierechancen. Für Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler bedeutet das enormen Druck: Ohne genügend Publikationen sinken die Chancen auf Stellen, Forschungsgelder und Anerkennung. Für Betrüger dagegen ist es ein lukratives Geschäftsmodell. Sie bieten „fertige Studien“ zum Kauf an. Jedes Jahr gelangen Schätzungen zufolge weltweit 10000 bis 20000 Paper-Mill-Publikationen in den Umlauf. Fachleute gehen von einer noch deutlich höheren Dunkelziffer aus. Diese Betrugsnetzwerke funktionieren wie eine Industrie: Sie erfinden Daten, manipulieren Gutachten und sorgen mit gegenseitigen Zitierungen für den Anschein von Relevanz. Besonders betroffen sind sensible Bereiche wie Medizin, Biologie und Ingenieurwissenschaften, Fachgebiete, in denen falsche Ergebnisse direkte Folgen für Gesundheit, Technologie und Gesellschaft haben können. Selbst renommierte Fachzeitschriften sind nicht davor gefeit, gefälschte Studien zu veröffentlichen. Mit jedem gefälschten Artikel schwindet das Vertrauen in die Wissenschaft, und echte Erkenntnisse geraten in den Hintergrund. Ehrliche Forscherinnen und Forscher arbeiten oft jahrelang an einer Studie. Betrugsnetzwerke dagegen liefern Ergebnisse im Akkord. Fake-Veröffentlichungen breiten sich dabei fast zehnmal schneller aus als legitime wissenschaftliche Arbeiten. Prüfmechanismen wie Peer Review oder KI-Erkennungssysteme stoßen jedoch schnell an ihre Grenzen, denn die Fälschungen werden immer raffinierter.
Am 17. August 2025 hat die Universität Illinois eine alarmierende Studie veröffentlicht: Immer mehr vermeintliche Forschungsarbeiten entpuppen sich als plumpe Fälschungen. #FakeScience #PaperMills #ScienceFraud #FaktenStattFakes #TrustScience #WahrheitZählt #RettetDieWissenschaft #EchteForschung

Footnote 25 in Chapter 14, p.144 of Feyerabend's (1975/1993) 'Against Method': "25. 'Carefully' has been contested by R.R. Newton, <<The Crime of Claudius Ptolemy>>, Baltimore. Newton shows that many of Ptolemy's 'data' were manufactured to fit his model. For his optics this has been known for a long time."
BREAKING: Ptolemy (c. 369-282 BC) was a p-hacker.
I'll bring you more as the story unfolds. I fully expect a pile-on at Ptolemy's social media accounts in the next 24-48 hours. Hold tight.

4/ These findings challenge the idea that fraud is just a matter of bad actors working alone.
Instead, we’re looking at a system—and one that’s getting better at evading detection.

As in life, in science, we need to learn to crawl before we run. What can happen when we skip basic research is illustrated by this drastic case of medical fraud by Paolo Macchiarini, which ultimately cost multiple lives.

"Inability" to identify the first scientist knowingly participating in the #ScienceFraud of your #ClimateHoax is shared by all. Only an omniscient God could know everyone's individual thoughts and motivations. Meanwhile I already named some proven frauds like Mann, Hansen, and the #ClimateGaters.

A frank finger-pointing of bad science(-tists) involving a fractional dire wolf in wolf's clothing.
"Even if those 20 genes were from a direwolf, there are likely at minimum thousands more genes required before these animals could be considered dire wolves by any reasonable measure." #sciencefraud

A screenshot of Rafael Luque's google scholar profile as of April 2023, the Elsevier logo has been added in next to each item to more clearly indicate who is the publisher of each of the journal items.
Rafael Luque in the news again... cen.acs.org/people/Russia-honors-che...
No mention of Elsevier's role in his prodigious output 🤷♂️

Has anyone else had the experience recently of a whole load of (probably fraudulent) papers being added to their ResearchGate listing? I’m just removing ~12 preprints with 377 authors from 2019/20 by Katsushige Abe that list me as an author! #ScienceFraud

In 2021, Jining First People’s Hospital in China disciplined 35 researchers involved in fraudulent publications, part of a broader crackdown on fake medical papers linked to paper mills—companies that produce fraudulent manuscripts for researchers under pressure to publish for career advancement. A surge in retractions followed, particularly in China, which has the highest retraction rates globally. A study by Nature revealed that hospitals and universities in China, Saudi Arabia, India, and other countries exhibit high retraction rates, often tied to research environments that prioritize quantity over quality. The rise in retractions has been attributed to the growing use of paper mills, with sleuths identifying patterns of misconduct. Despite challenges in tracking retractions due to data errors, these findings suggest that institutions with high retraction rates may reflect broader cultural issues in research integrity. However, retraction rates alone may not fully capture the extent of poor-quality research, as not all problematic papers are retracted. (Nature)
China leads the world in research retractions, with a surge linked to fraudulent paper mills. A hospital recently disciplined 35 researchers for fake publications as the country cracks down on misconduct. Can integrity keep up? #ScienceFraud #ResearchEthics scientificinquirer.com/2025/02/20/d...
