As #AI-generated manuscripts drive record submission volumes, a surprising possibility is emerging: if authors can create articles instantly and at no cost, the appeal of #PaperMills may decline. But what does that mean for #PredatoryJournals and #ResearchIntegrity?

#Publishers Need a #Library Relations Strategy: "Publishers who have not invested in a library relations strategy are operating without access to perspectives and knowledge directly relevant to their decisions." via @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2026/05/19/w...
Two recent decisions in #BusinessEducation reveal a widening divide: one embraces collaboration and openness, the other doubles down on narrow metrics and conformity. Rankings that ignore #research on societal and environmental change risk holding #BizEd back instead of moving it forward.

A recent article from the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant examines the growing problem of #AI-generated #FakeCitations becoming an increasing concern in scholarly and medical #publishing. The piece includes insights from Cabells CCO Simon Linacre on the growing pressures facing scholarly publishing.
The simplest way to learn about predatory journals and their tricks of the trade is to look at the burgeoning number of articles on the topic. Since 2020, there have been over 2,000 research articles published that mention ‘predatory publishing,' with the rate increasing over time. Indeed, as you can see from the graph below, aside from the spike in 2021 and a fall back in 2022 following the pandemic, we have seen year-on-year increases so that 2025 was the biggest ever year for published research on the topic.

In his widely cited - and widely misunderstood - book The End of History and the Last Man, historian and author Francis Fukuyama was heavily criticized for saying that the West had ‘won’ and that there would be no meaningful conflicts to trouble the world with the fall of the Iron Curtain in the late 1980s. The following 40 years or so seem to bear this criticism out, with 9/11, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and most recently the war in Iraq providing ample evidence that history is indeed still happening.
Trust is something we all take for granted. From taking an umbrella with you on a day out because the weather forecast said it would rain, to watching a movie following a friend’s recommendation, we commit to dozens of actions each day based on trusting something we have seen, heard, or sensed in some way. Of course, we live in a world where that trust is being undermined, a ‘post-truth’ world where it seems the fabric of much of what we are exposed to is falling apart.

Within a couple of weeks of each other, two decisions have been made that will shape business research and education for years to come – but for very different reasons. One decision is a bold, risky decision that is global in reach and open in outlook; the other is small-minded and narrow, which nevertheless sends a strong message to those it will impact.
Recent reporting from the respected Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant highlights a growing problem in scholarly publishing: the rise of AI-generated fake citations appearing in academic papers. According to the article, authored by Stan van Pelt, fabricated references — studies, articles, or journals that do not actually exist — have increased significantly alongside the widespread adoption of generative AI tools.
