Centralized registry for tracking academic citation fraud and AI hallucinations
A platform where academics can document and report instances of papers containing fabricated or hallucinated citations, particularly those generated by AI systems. The platform would serve as a centralized, searchable repository to help researchers identify problematic papers and authors engaging in citation fraud.
SOURCE TRANSMISSION
“I wish there was some centralized location where academics could name-and-shame other academics who publish (or try to publish) papers with AI-hallucinated citations, because I am at my fuuuucking limit.”
CLASSIFIER RATIONALE
Clear expression of unmet demand for a tool/platform to track and report academic misconduct (AI-hallucinated citations). The author explicitly states frustration that such a centralized resource doesn't exist and implies they would find it valuable. The emotional intensity ('at my fuuuucking limit') signals genuine pain point, not sarcasm.
