Exhibit #123: - Researcher publishes article in journal, using <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/CC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CC</a> BY. - ProQuest republishes article, with author, title, date, DOI, licence. Also, with terrible layout, but without images. - Their DOI doesn't link anywhere. You need to type "https:/doi.org/", add the DOI, paste URL, to find the actual publication. Grey zone of CC BY requirements? - GS indexes the publication and provides the ProQuest link instead of the proper URL. Aaargh.

George MacgregorMassive long shot but... does anyone have a support contact email account for Google Scholar? If the account details are not generic, please feel free to share via a private mention.I've had this GS profile for years, and I moved it to my glasgow.ac.uk account around 18 months ago without issue. But, for inexplicable reasons, I have recently discovered that I am unable to log into this profile without GS wanting me to set up a new one.

David Weir :v_enby:Okay, actually one reason I can't yet bring myself to part with Google Scholar - the paper recommendations it sends to be are actually good, and reduce the stress and feeling of overburdening that comes from reading the arXiv.It seems to be the one product where Google has not yet ruined the algorithm.(I think I would actually pay a small fee to get as good recommendations from a less-evil company)<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/GoogleScholar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoogleScholar</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Degoogle</a>

MottGI noticed I was getting spammed in my Google Scholar alerts this morning. Evidently some companies put out something that looks like a "research article" but leads to a spammy webpage with a "research article," a company contact form, job listings, etc. I guess this is a new low in SEO shenanigans.<a href="https://researchbuzz.masto.host/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://researchbuzz.masto.host/tags/GoogleScholar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoogleScholar</a>

The majority (57%) of these questionable papers dealt with policy-relevant subjects (i.e., environment, health, computing), susceptible to influence operations. Most were available in several copies on different domains (e.g., social media, archives, and repositories). Two main risks arise from the increasingly common use of <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GPT</a> to (mass-)produce <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/fake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fake</a>, scientific <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/publications" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#publications</a>. First, the abundance of fabricated “studies” seeping into all areas of the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#research</a> infrastructure threatens to overwhelm the scholarly communication system and jeopardize the integrity of the scientific record. A second risk lies in the increased possibility that convincingly scientific-looking content was in fact deceitfully created with <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> tools and is also optimized to be retrieved by publicly available academic search engines, particularly <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GoogleScholar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoogleScholar</a>.
