10 years ago, a researcher plagiarized & published one of my lab's preprints. It was retracted. We received an apology. They are responsible and they are a victim of the system. Paper mills, predatory journals, & fraud are no surprise in a system that rewards publication rather than scholarship.

...on top of these "classic" #papermills, in #CompChem (search: "DFT" and "Solar Cell") we see large-scale citation & review cartels, which flood classic journals with endless variations of worthless, superficial papers. Editor reaction = 0 🙁 #ResearchIntegrity

We all know how to stop a bully. But when it's a powerful bully, fear takes center stage and people come with arguments saying that resistance is futile or counterproductive. That is exactly what the bully wants. And gives him even more power. And the cycle repeats. Thanks Dorothy for speaking up

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...
