    Updated: 2024-07-31 09:37:00
    This essay is the work of a dinobaby. Unlike some folks, no smart software improved my native ineptness. Some professionals want to figure out if a chunk of content is real, fabricated, or fake.

    Updated: 2024-07-30 09:07:00
    There are several problems with the current system of academic publishing, like fake research and citation feedback loops. Then there is the nasty structure of the system itself.
