The following is from The Vaccine Reaction.
Medical journals are increasingly riddled with fake scientific papers put out by “paper mills”—profit-oriented organizations that produce and sell fabricated manuscripts or ones containing manipulated scientific data.
In the past year, approximately 70,000 (1.5 – 2 percent) of published scientific papers were generated by paper mills. It is estimated that, over the last two decades, paper mills may have churned out as many as 400,000 papers.
Newly developed software is able to detect whether a paper was generated by a paper mill to a good degree of certainty by comparing an open index of research papers to works previously produced by paper mills. An estimated three percent of biology and medicine papers closely resembled paper mill works, according to an unpublished analysis shared with Nature.
The paper mill papers tend to follow a specific template and only change an image or a few words in the text. Adam Day, developer of the software called Paper Mill Alarm admits that there is no way to know if all of the articles flagged are generated by paper mills.
A report by the Committee on Publication Ethics released in June 2022 confirms Day’s findings. The report, which looked at six publishers, found that two percent of papers submitted to journals may have come from paper mills and for some journals, the number may be as high as 40 percent.
The increasing number of scientific papers being retracted supports these alarming findings. The Retraction Watch Database found that in 2022 more than 4,600 scientific papers were retracted by journals. By comparison, in 2002 journals retracted only 119 papers.
“Publish or Perish” Policy Leading to Increase in Fake Scientific Papers
A recent report in a medRxiv pre-print published in May showed that as many as 34 percent of 5,000 neuroscience papers and 24 percent of medical papers published in 2020 were plagiarized or false.
Bernhard Sabel, psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of Magdeburg in Germany and lead author of the report explained:
Scientists are often judged by the number of papers they publish, and that is quite common practice everywhere around the world. And all this pressure creates anxiety and fear to not being promoted, to lose the job and so on. And so the best way to solve that, given they have no capacity to do the research, is, as if you’re buying a T-shirt in the shop, you can buy a paper for it to be published in the scientific journal.
Universities can be active participants in perpetuating the problem of fake papers being published. Students are often required to publish as a prerequisite to obtaining a masters or doctorate degree.
Professors can earn academic promotions when they are listed as co-authors on published papers, while universities obtain money from research grants based on published papers. All of these incentives can encourage the proliferation of fake scientific papers by researchers eager to advance their careers at universities.
The International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers, which represents 120 publishers, is working on an effort called Integrity Hub to create new ways to detect false papers churned out by paper mills.

It would be equally important to create a serious PENALTY for submitting “false papers.”
Without negative consequences, there’s no reason for anyone to STOP this fraudulent practice. It’s the same as if forging money were frowned upon but carried no legal penalty. The result would be MORE, not less, forged money.

Notice of widely fraudulent
papers began in the mid-
Nineties, as one bright guy
had submitted a TOTALLY
nonsensical paper, to one
of the major journals, and
got accepted and published.

I read roughly 100 “studies” on Hydroxychloroquine & 100% of them were clearly stupid. The protocol called for IMMEDIATE EARLY treatment using Hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin. Maybe with intravenous (IV) vitamin C. Key components we always missing. There should be an investigation into why so many disingenuous studies were published.
Another quick and dirty (and obvious!) trick was to give the same-sized dose to every subject. Both ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are properly dosed by weight— a 300-pound person requires three times the dose of a 100-pound person. Then you make death the only endpoint.
The result is that the 100-pound young healthy people don’t die from covid whether they get the drug or placebo because 100-pound young healthy people don’t die of covid. And of the 300-pound patients the ones getting the drug are getting such an under dose that it’s a placebo, and so they die just as often as the straight-up placebo arm.

Tom Schryer,
Hydroxychloroquine works,
because it is extremely
alkaline, which pH is the
key to never getting sick;
that is, keep away from
acidic foods during
fall and winter months :

It’s nice to know.
One doesn’t know though who-with all the COVID misinformation passed we were assured was correct-who communicated the corruption first?
Were all the medical “experts” influenced by the Journals to lie, since apparently the Journals could publish lies and get away with it?
Or did the medical “experts” infect and motivate the Journals to misinform?
In any event, today’s institutions-the DOJ, the FBI, much of news media (televised and written), the medical community, the FDA, etc-can no longer be trusted.
And now we’re told the Journals which report on the studies from which the MDs and PhDs draw their conclusions can’t be trusted completely either.
So who do you trust?
I guess, investigative journalists like Sheryl Attkisson. (ou just have to decide on which ones.)
