Audit finds suspected fabricated references across major science journals
Original: Audit reveals suspected fabricated references across physics, chemistry, engineering and computing journals
A new audit has identified suspected fabricated references in published papers spanning physics, chemistry, engineering and computing journals. The findings raise concerns about citation integrity in academic publishing, as fabricated references can make unreliable work appear better supported than it is. Researchers and editors are likely to face pressure to re-examine citing practices and strengthen verification before publication.
Why now: Concerns about research integrity and fake citations in academic publishing are drawing attention
