Dramatic increases in redundant publications in the Generative AI era

2025-09-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Redundant publication, the practice of submitting the same or substantially overlapping manuscripts multiple times, distorts the scientific record and wastes resources. Since 2022, publications using large open-science data resources have increased substantially, raising concerns that Generative AI (GenAI) may be facilitating the production of formulaic, redundant manuscripts. In this work we...
