I'm delighted to share our opinion on #papermills published in Nature. Science is flooded with papers from paper mills.Certain steps can be taken, but this is a challenge that neither universities nor journals are ready to face.Some use paper mills to their advantage. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

‘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.
