Day is the director of a scholarly data services company named <a href="https://clear-skies.co.uk/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Clear Skies</a>, which has developed Papermill Alarm, a tool that attempts to identify journal articles and submissions that came from paper mills.</p> <p>According to Day, this is achieved by looking at patterns and similarities between published papers and known paper mill-generated works. He claims that this is the best approach for detecting paper mill works, since these works are created in large batches and, generally, carry formatting, styling and other similarities between them.</p> <p>Day used his software to analyze some 48 million papers published since 2000. He found that some 400,000 of those articles share “strong textual similarities” to known paper mill studies, and that includes some 70,000 in 2022 alone. All in all, the study estimates that between 1.5% and 2% of all papers published in 2022 came from essay mills.</p> <p>Day also examined a smaller subset of 2.85 million works published in 2022 where information about the subject area was available. In that subset, he found 2.2% resembled paper mill studies, but found wide variances in subject, with medicine and biology coming in at over 3% while Economics was well below 0.5%.</p> <p>However, others in the field have been quick to criticize this analysis. Day only shared the analysis Nature, and it has not been through peer review nor has it been published. Of particular concern was the potential for false positives, with legitimate research being caught in the net simply for using a similar template.</p> <p>Day also has not shared details about how his tool works, citing the need to protect his intellectual property and prevent paper mills from learning how to circumvent it.</p> <p>In June 2022, <a href="https://publicationethics.org/node/55256" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers (STM) released a similar study</a> about paper mill works and found the most journals could expect to see about 2% of the papers submitted to them be paper mill works, with those that published paper mill works see that number leapt to as high as 46%. </p> <p class="has-text-align-center has-background" style="background-color:#f9f9f9"><em><strong>Note:</strong> <a href="https://www.stm-assoc.org/stm-integrity-hub-incorporates-clear-skies-papermill-alarm-screening-tool/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">STM uses Clear Skies as part of its Integrity Hub service</a>.</em> </p> <p>However, that study looked at papers submitted to journals, where the most recent one looks at publications. That’s why other experts in the field believe that Day’s estimates are reasonable but at the upper bounds of likelihood. Elizabeth Bik and David Bimler, both research integrity experts interviewed for the Nature article, both indicated that the numbers are, at the very least, possible, but felt the numbers were high. </p> <p>Day himself, on the other hand, seems to think his study is likely an underestimation as his tool can only compare to known paper mill works. As such, he believes that the likelihood of false negatives is greater than false positives, especially since he claimed to have taken significant steps to eliminate the latter.</p> <p>All this points to a significant problem: Finding out just how large of an issue paper mills are for scholarly publishing.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">A Growing Concern</h4> <p>Back in March 2021, Bik, along with other researchers, <a href="https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2021/03/25/paper-mills-not-just-for-students-anymore/" data-wpel-link="internal">published an article that identified some 1,400 published papers that were</a>, at least potentially, linked to essay mills. However, even after notifying journals of the issue, only a small fraction of the papers were retracted. </p> <p>While that was one of the first major alarms for the publishing industry, <a href="https://www.nature.com/news/2010/100112/full/463142a.html" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">efforts to track the size and scope of paper mills go back to at least 2007</a>, and likely far beyond that. </p> <p>That, in turn, is something that’s pointed out by Day’s recent work. According to his unpublished estimates, he was able to find examples of likely essay mill publications going back to 2000, the earliest year in his data set. </p> <p>However, according to data provided by Day, the problem has seen almost linear growth since 2000. Every year, there has been an increase in the percentage of papers published that have strong similarities with paper mill products.</p> <p>Since it’s impossible and impractical to thoroughly investigate each individual work, it’s equally impossible to know how many false positives and negatives there are. As such, there’s likely no way to know, with any certainty, how big of a problem this is on the submission side or the publication side.</p> <p>That said, there are three things we can say with relative certainty based on this and other research in this space:</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>“Researchers” Are Increasingly Turning to Paper Mills:</strong> The temptation to turn to paper mills is an ever-present one for those who are in positions where they need publications to either maintain their position or advance, but lack the time, funding and/or interest to do original research. The use of paper mills appears to be growing, along with the industry.</li> <li><strong>Legitimate Journals Are Being Impacted:</strong> The issue is often paired with predatory journals, which are journals that will publish virtually any paper, as long as they are paid a fee. However, paper mill papers are, increasingly, being submitted to legitimate journals who are being tasked with filtering out these papers. This has made tools like STM Integrity Hub crucial in the fight. </li> <li><strong>The Defenses Are Imperfect:</strong> No matter how many false positives and negatives there are in spotting these cases, it’s clear that the number of paper mill papers being published in legitimate, respected journals is not zero. That number is, ultimately, too high.</li> </ol> <p>So that begs the question: What can be done about this problem? </p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Addressing the Problem</h4> <p>In the short term, journals need to strengthen both their review and peer review process in anticipation of receiving papers that were produced by paper mills.
