Incident 7241 Report
AI-Generated Papers Manipulate Scopus Rankings in Top Philosophy Journals

2024-06-12

Three reportedly fake journals published by Addleton Academic Publishers manipulated Scopus rankings by extensively cross-citing each other and using AI-generated papers filled with buzzwords. These journals, placed in the top 10 of Scopus's 2023 CiteScore philosophy list, featured fake authors, affiliations, and grant numbers. This manipulation pushed legitimate journals to lower tiers, affecting academic evaluations and awards.
