@jesusmargar @tomw It is constantly happening! Science is so full of absolute sh*t papers, that finding the actual science is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Today, unless you know someone from that very field who can guide you, you will spend weeks if not months going through crap papers trying to figure out what are actual results and what is just made up stuff. Good luck to find anyone if that field has not seen any active research in 30 years. 2 comments
@jesusmargar Yes, math is much better in that regard. My general experience is the more applied a field is, the more you have these need-to-churn-out-paper people. And there are plenty of venues to publish things where the reviewers just don't care. Heck, I reviewed papers in CS that just did what had been done 20 years earlier, just in shitty without understanding what they are doing, and my co-rewievers were like "great results!". |

@attilakinali mmmh that's not my personal experience as a researcher. I agree about the bad papers but Q1 JCR journals hardly ever have any. I am yet to see an auto-generated book or paper in mathematics.
