Librarian finds ‘preposterous number’ of fake references in paper from Springer Nature journal
Librarian finds ‘preposterous number’ of fake references in paper from Springer Nature journal
the fact that following up about hallucinated references was met with a second list of hallucinated references is just insulting, imo.
surely needing to go through everything with a fine-toothed comb to make sure that a) a source hasn’t been hallucinated and that b) cited sources actually say what is claimed, is more time-consuming than just doing the research & citations manually?
