Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common
More than 1/3 of publications are fraudulent
https://www.science.org/content/article/fake-scientific-papers-are-alarmingly-common

>When neuropsychologist Bernhard Sabel put his new fake-paper detector to work, he was “shocked” by what it found. After screening some 5000 papers, he estimates up to 34% of neuroscience papers published in 2020 were likely made up or plagiarized; in medicine, the figure was 24%. Both numbers, which he and colleagues report in a medRxiv preprint posted on 8 May, are well above levels they calculated for 2010—and far larger than the 2% baseline estimated in a 2022 publishers’ group report.

And what was this "fake paper detectors" false positive rate?
How was it validated?
What are the features it considers for determining if it is fake?
This is similar to when psychologists couldn't replicate someone else's work. I'm not convinced it's not reproducible, I'm convinced that person is a retard and didn't take the time to understand the nuances before trying to replicate

1. The author used a personal, rather than institutional, email
2. The author was affiliated to a university hospital
When testing their method with papers presumed genuine, the false positive rate was about 44%. They got that down to 39% by adding in the recursive criteria of flagged papers have a significant number of other flagged papers in their reference list.

I like how the science article on some guy's AI tool for reading papers contains a correction noting the high false positive rate of the AI tool. Would be interesting to see some actual, non AI-generated data on this. I have seen a handful of fake chemistry papers, but never in a journal where the reviewers actually look at the papers (i.e., all the decent journals, which are the only ones we actually read). I think it would be pretty easy to spot if people actually started making fake NMRs. Seems like too much work to fake. I guess it's probably more common in neuroscience and such. Also, probably physics, since the code they use to analyze their data can often generate real looking data by just adding in some statistical noise.

>The GOYIM are not guided by practical use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical routine without any critical regard for consequent results. We need not, therefore, take any account of them - let them amuse themselves until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all they have enjoyed. For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded them to accept as the dictates of science (theory). It is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The intellectuals of the GOYIM will puff themselves up with their knowledge and without any logical verification of them will put into effect all the information available from science, which our AGENTUR specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their minds in the direction we want.

They’re mostly all bullshit.
Put it this way, there’s only like, gotta be 10 main questions, 100 big questions, 1000 important questions before we know everything and all our problems are solved. And theres 65,000,000 scientific papers in existence and 2,000,000 published each year. I know there’s incremental progress but you do the maths on that.

It’s a fraud. It’s just about keeping the wheels spinning and perpetuating society. Without a whiteboard and a wall of text let me put it simply and say it’s about MONEY.

Peer review makes things worse in many ways because the 'scientific truth' of your paper is now made dependent on others or a committee of people, which enables private corporations to manipulate research or shut down inconvenient elements by means of drying up funds and corruption.
