“Two major science publishers, Springer and IEEE, are in the process of removing more than 120 published studies from their databases after they were discovered to be SCIgen-generated nonsense. Eric Merkel-Sobotta at Springer Science and Business Media told the Star the company had been alerted to 16 allegedly fake articles two weeks ago, and has been working ever since to confirm the claims. Springer publishes over 2,000 journals. All the papers appeared in peer-reviewed conference proceedings, Merkel-Sobotta said. All the supposed authors had Chinese names, but it’s still not clear whether any or all of them are fake.”
