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.

Retraction Watch: Fighting coordinated publication fraud is like ‘emptying an overflowing bathtub with a spoon,’ study coauthor says. “Systematic research fraud has outpaced corrective measures and will only keep accelerating, according to a study of problematic publishing practices and the networks that fuel them.”

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.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2420092122
The authors call for independent, conflict-free structures with real power to act.

“There is a large-scale industry of so-called “paper mills” that sell fictive research, sometimes written by artificial intelligence, to researchers who then publish it in peer-reviewed journals — which are sometimes edited by people who had been placed by those sham groups” #ScientificFraud #ResearchFraud https://mstdn.science/@YvanDutil/112486855163219831

No surprise (I'm currently dealing with other kinds of research scammers), but still OOF.

New blog post! There's a version of this on Psychology Today, but I got some weird edits, so I wanted to have a "version of record" here.
This one is about how the President of Stanford allegedly falsified Alzheimer's research, has been called out on it for over 2 decades, and continues to "fail up."
Comments here are welcome.
