JoNova (Australia)
At least 120 computer generated nonsense papers have been reviewed
and published in publications of the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and Springer, as well as conference
proceedings. The fakes have just been discovered by a French researcher
and are being withdrawn.
Cyril Labbé found a way to spot artificially-generated science papers, and published it his website
and lo, the fakes turned up en masse. In the past, pretend papers have
turned up in open access journals–this time the fake papers appeared in subscription based
journals. But the man who caught the fakes says he cannot be sure he’s
caught them all, because he couldn’t check all the papers behind
paywalls."
