The Professors’ Collegium warmly invites you to an open lecture: “AI and the crisis of research: Why we need to reform science publishing”

A crisis that undermines credibility

Hundreds of thousands of fraudulent articles, more or less generated by AI, have begun to flood the scientific system in recent years. This risks undermining the fundamental credibility of science. It becomes difficult to build on research that is, in whole or in part, inaccurate. And, of course, it is impossible to repeat studies that may not even have been conducted in the first place.

Bernhard Sabel has studied the phenomenon of fake science publications since 2020. He is one of the authors of the Reformation of Science Publishing: the Stockholm Declaration, an action plan with specific recommendations for the sector.
