Hallucinated citations are polluting the scientific literature. What can be done? | Katharine O'Moore-Klopf, ELS

#Researchers, are you using large language models — #LLMs, a type of #generative #artificial #intelligence — to create reference lists for your #research #papers, or even to #write your papers entirely? An article in Nature reports: “In some cases, hallucinated citations might serve as a sign that the entire paper is #fabricated, whether by an individual or a #paper #mill, a business that sells authorship slots. But the extent to which fabricated papers are contributing to the fake-citation problem is unclear.” You can avoid tarnishing your reputation as a #scientist, avoid having a #journal #ban you from submitting articles in the future, and avoid contaminating the #scientific #literature if you use your hard-earned skills to find appropriate references (and read about the research findings behind them) and to interpret your own research findings and write about them. And to make sure all is well, you can have an #editor like me edit your articles before you submit them to journals. https://lnkd.in/eA844sRT

Because of #genAI, many #researchers around the world now believe they don't need #editors to get their writing into good shape so their papers pass muster with swamped #peer #reviewers at #journals. But they *do* need editors.

AI gives scientists a boost, but at the cost of too many mediocre papers | Cornell Chronicle

A new study shows that using large language models like ChatGPT boosts paper production, especially for non-native English speakers, but the overall increase in AI-written papers is making it harder to separate the valuable contributions from the AI slop.
