Les fausses publications scientifiques menacent de submerger la recherche contre le cancer

Machine learning-based screening for publications from (often AI-boosted) paper mills feels dystopian already. But even more dystopian is the pick-up rate in cancer literature- nearly 1 in 10 papers (9.87%). Over 260,000 individual papers in all. 😱 #MedSky www.bmj.com/content/392/...

I am thrilled to announce that my first-ever paper has been published in @bmj.com. It is available here: www.bmj.com/content/392/... I thank my colleagues @aidybarnett.bsky.social, @jabyrnesci.bsky.social and David Causeur for this opportunity and their support.

Thanks so much to @baptscc.bsky.social, recently arrived here, for his brilliant work as first author on this paper (also his first publication). Follow him, he's going places!

“If fabricated studies make their way into the evidence base, they can mislead real scientists and ultimately slow progress for patients." Published in The BMJ, a new AI tool developed by @aidybarnett.bsky.social and colleagues has exposed the scale of fake studies flooding cancer research.

Congrats to @aidybarnett.bsky.social, Baptiste and team on this important #metaresearch paper. I got to see the early analysis stages of this work and have been waiting with baited breath for it to be published: www.bmj.com/content/392/...
