Original: → Record-breaking # retraction : scholarly # publisher pulls 1,400 conference papers on one day https://www. nature.com/
A scholarly publisher has retracted roughly 1,400 conference papers in a single day, described as a record-breaking mass retraction. It follows a separate wave of 1,622 articles retracted by IEEE, identified through work by researchers including Abalkina and Kunešová investigating compromised or fraudulent conference proceedings. The scale of the withdrawals highlights growing concern over paper mills and fake research entering the scholarly record.
Why now: Mass retractions of fraudulent papers are drawing attention to paper mills and flaws in conference publishing.
