    New (at least for me) term alert!

    TORTURED PHRASE: An established scientific concept paraphrased into a nonsensical sequence of words. "Mean square error" becomes "mean square blunder". "Breast cancer" becomes "Bosom peril". Sign of fraudulent research. Can be a product of AI technologies.

    A powerful new study (Richardson et al., @PNASNews 2025) reveals the scale of systematic research fraud: fake papers are doubling every 1.5 years - ten times faster than real science. Retractions and deindexing can't keep up. Journals look away. Universities stay silent. Ministries protect their own.

    The authors call for independent, conflict-free structures with real power to act.
