I said it before and I’ll say it again: scientific journals have hardly any relevance any more, except for academic careers.
AI is just speeding up this evolution. We urgently need to rethink scientific communication!

The extent of this is probably much greater than you have uncovered here.

I think back to these hoaxes, which con-artists invented to convince people that evolution is real:
Piltdown Man
Lucy
Archaeopteryx
Brontosaurus
And other “scientific” hoaxes which will get me banned from the soviet-controlled, fedposter-infested, censorship-friendly fediverse if I even name them …
Publish or perish …?
@firefly I don’t know if @academicchatter can set blocks, but with only 1 right out of 4, your post does sound rather off-topic:
[1] known fraud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man
[2] generally accepted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_%28Australopithecus%29
[3] #FredHoyle and #LeeSpetner suspected forgery, but the palaeontologists’ consensus is that it’s real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx#Authenticity
[4] generally accepted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brontosaurus
