Another retraction for Kuan Shiong Khoo, nr. 8!. He was a PhD student under the legendary #papermill #fraud Pau Loke Show (18 retractions already). Kuan Shiong Khoo continues his fraud at the uan Ze Univ in Taiwan. The @uniofnottingham.bsky.social doesn't care about the #fraud.

Adrian Covaci from. @uantwerpen.be turns @elsevierconnect.bsky.social journals into #papermill safe havens! He did it with STOTEN and now he does it with Environment International! Here he seems to have edited his own paper! A new low?

Retraction nr 28 (!!!) for #papermill #fraud Hitler Louis! He has published nothing but paper mill crap! When oh when will publishers learn? Hitler Louis on his way to enter the
@retractionwatch.com leaderboard?

Something does not add up! Can you spot it? Published in Discover Plants, a journal used by #papermill authors 👇

Something tells me @tkes.bsky.social isn't going to get invited by Victor Sunday Aigbodion for sunday roast! Another retraction for #papermill #fraud Victor Sunday Aigbodion!

It happened again! @tkes.bsky.social strikes again! One more retraction for #papermill #fraud Victor Sunday Aigbodion from the University of Nigeria Nsukka

Well well, @tkes.bsky.social did it again! #papermill idiot Victor Sunday Aigbodion from the University of Nigeria Nsukka got another retraction! This #fraud has published nothing but made up papers. Finally one publishers, @natureportfolio.nature.com, is catching and retracting.

Well, wiley is known to whitewash fraud at large scale, so no surprise here.
(3/x) Almost all papers were flagged by Mu Yang (@mumumouse2.bsky.social) and me this year. Multiple articles were reported to Wiley, 50+ are currently being investigated by Elsevier's ethics team. Wiley's team looked at the article in (1) and send me this email which left me very confused:

Retraction nr. 11 for the legendary Indian #papermill #fraud Abhijit Dey who once publishes 300 papers in a single year!

How many father-son duos are there that have retractions? Thomas Len, son of the infamous #papermill #fraud Christophe Len (big buddies with major fraud Rafael Luque) got his first retraction! His father, C. Len has already 2 retractions for his fraud.

Turns out that @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social keeps whitewashing #fraud! Unbelievable. Could this be because Pau Loke Show his university is threatening with a lawsuit against @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social ??

Trump trying to influence @wikipedia.org. No surprise there. If it doesn't fit his narrative he will attack it. Dictator you say? What has America become?

The proof that @relxhq.bsky.social
/ @elsevierconnect.bsky.social doesn't care about ethics. The EIC, Cecília Maria Almeida, was found guilty of manipulation, editing her own paper, in short #fraud. Her paper got retracted, yet a year later she is still EIC! Let this sink in!

Some more top notch work from Ümit Ağbulut from
@yildizedu.bsky.social! According to the authors figures A, B and C are not the same! 👇Does anyone believe these authors?😂🤣 Ümit Ağbulut and his gang are papermill authors!

Rashid Iqbal and his gang of #papermill authors are truly amazing! Why not put a random number to spice things up rather than just randomly putting letters to indicate significant differences.👇And it still gets published @elsevierconnect.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...
August 22, 2025 at 7:25 AM
Unbelievable @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social calls this a correction! This not a correction this a whole new paper! 6 pages! Plus the editor was linked to the author(s)! MDPI is enabling #fraud! This should have been a retraction. Shame! Publishers know nothing about ethics and integrity.
August 22, 2025 at 7:10 AM
It's happening! Frauds are now using the names of integrity experts to smear their reputation. Read about the curious case of Dr. Mohamed Shaaban👇 It has happened before and will continue to happen if publishers don't act!

Despite having a proven track record of #fraud, Mika Sillanpää is able to publish his crap all over. Here he boosts 7 (!) affiliations. What is the record of the most affiliations in 1 paper? Something tells me Sillanpää is in the top contender lists! @elsevierconnect.bsky.social
August 19, 2025 at 8:05 AM
There it is, Hilter Louis, the infamous #papermill #fraud, just got retraction nr 21 !!! He published more than 300 papers and pretty much all are fake paper mill papers so he can reach the
@retractionwatch.com leaderboard for sure!
August 16, 2025 at 7:06 AM
I have a feeling @reeserichardson.bsky.social is going to like this one👇Now they already started to hide the name of the SEM machine😅😂 This paper is 100% #papermill #fraud with bought authorship. This @elsevierconnect.bsky.social journal is massively targeted by frauds. doi.org/10.1016/j.in...
August 14, 2025 at 9:57 PM
As a new shareholder I am looking forward to go to one of your annual shareholders meetings to inquire about the massive #fraud in @elsevierconnect.bsky.social journals and how the publishers fails to take care of it or even better, enables the fraud!

The @elsevierconnect.bsky.social journal Plant Physiology and Biochemistry did a great job! It's obvious they don't take sh*t from nobody. Jörg Rinklebe his fake data paper has been retracted in roughly 4 months! This is a major development. Will
@uni-wuppertal.bsky.social finally do something?
