The Case of the Mysterious Citations

Mysterious citations are routinely appearing in peer-reviewed publications throughout the scientific community. In this paper, we developed an automated pipeline and examine the proceedings of four major high-performance computing conferences, comparing the accuracy of citations between the 2021 and 2025 proceedings. While none of the 2021 papers contained mysterious citations, every 2025 proceeding did, impacting 2-6\% of published papers. In addition, we observe a sharp rise in paper title and authorship errors, motivating the need for stronger citation-verification practice. No author within our dataset acknowledged using AI to generate citations even though all four conference policies required it, indicating current policies are insufficient.

The authors prefer the term "mysterious citations" which they define this way: "No paper [with] a similar enough title exists. The cited location either does not exist or holds an unrelated paper with different authors."

Scott declined to tell lawmakers how many agents have been disciplined for #misconduct in the recent #immigration crackdowns. Journalists & bystanders have documented numerous instances in which agents shoved & pepper-sprayed civilians. Lawmakers displayed a photo of a particularly jarring incident in Minneapolis during which an unmasked federal agent pepper-sprayed a man in the face at close range while pinned to the ground by other agents.
