I flagged two research papers for fake authors and both were accepted
AI-generated errors are threatening the credibility of scientific writing. Two researchers discuss the acceptance of papers with fake authors.
Two researchers reviewed 22 paper submissions this summer, finding that 15 (68%) contained entirely fabricated citations or author lists. This highlights the growing issue of AI-generated content in scientific writing, which undermines the credibility of peer reviews and wastes researchers' time. The prevalence of these errors raises concerns about the integrity of academic publishing.
