Could fake science be poisoning everything we trust?
With fraudulent research multiplying faster than retractions, can science protect its credibility before trust collapses? @PNASNews

Fraudulent Scientific Papers Are Rapidly Increasing, Study Finds
www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/s...
A statistical analysis found that the number of fake journal articles being churned out by “paper mills” is ...
Annual global scientific activity captured by WoS as measured by the number of actively publishing journals, the number of journals deindexed annually by WoS, the number of journals with retractions, the number of journals with PubPeer comments, and the number of journals with suspected paper mill products. It is visually apparent that deindexing now occurs at a level far below the level of occurrence of journals publishing suspected paper mill products. These patterns hold for Scopus and MEDLINE. R.A.K. Richardson, S.S. Hong, J.A. Byrne, T. Stoeger, & L.A.N. Amaral, The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 122 (32) e2420092122, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2420092122 (2025).
A powerful new study, Richardson et al. @pnas.org reveals the scale of systematic research fraud: fake papers are doubling every 1.5 years - ten times faster than real science! Retractions and deindexing can't keep up: 📄 doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #ResearchFraud #Integrity #PaperMills #AcademicEthics

Skepticism surrounds the paper's data - called "too clean." Doubts raised about a 2nd-year PhD student achieving such scale & implausible innovation gains reported. Red flags cited include questionable IRB claims. #ResearchFraud 2/6
Visual from COPE with various red flags that indicate a paper might be fraudulent.
Great overview of COPE #researchintegrity red flags to help identify #researchfraud from AIP Publishing's Allegra Torres, research integrity lead.

"Among the world’s most cited biomedical scientists, with 'more than thirty years of direct experience of biomedical research,' Szabo blows the lid off his field."—Christopher Lane, Psychology Today buff.ly/K8ItxJi #ResearchFraud #ResearchEthics #ReproducibilityCrisis #BiomedicalResearch
The Chinese government is cracking down on #ResearchFraud, including “strict punishment for misconduct such as fabricating or falsifying research findings; buying, selling, ghostwriting...; buying, selling, falsifying, or tampering of experimental data; and other forms of academic misconduct.”
Bogus scientific papers are enriching fraudsters and slowing lifesaving medical research ‣ @us.theconversation.com · #researchfraud
PAPER MILLS EXPLODE The proportion of scientific articles with close textual similarities to papermill products is increasing.
Had no idea how large this problem is!
Fraudulent research pollutes the literature, slows down scientific progress, delays the discovery of therapies and reduces public trust in science.
Created by pressure on scientists to publish.
