Fake studies have flooded publishers of top #scientific #journals leading to thousands of #retractions, M of $ in lost revenue. Biggest hit has come to #Wiley 217-year-old #publisher based in Hoboken NJ which announced it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research #fraud. Wiley has reportedly had to retract more than 11,300 papers recently “that appeared compromised” as #generativeAI makes it easier for paper mills to peddle fake research. https://www.wsj.com/science/academic-studies-research-paper-mills-journals-publishing-f5a3d4bc

@bespacific I've always had a special hatred for a particular kind of review request/paper, where you can feel so clearly there's something wrong with it, but it's very hard to put your finger on what exactly. It's just slightly rotten everywhere. I found them hard to reject in a review becasue they're slippery in that way, "it's stinky" probably won't cut it.

Had one of those review requests a day or so ago and I strongly suspect AI was used from the Abstract, but how do you nail it down?
