"The Trump administration's dismissal of the National Science Board members reflects a systematic approach to dismantling scientific advisory structures, raising concerns about the future of science policy."
"The database of online advertisements for research-paper authorships reveals a troubling market, with prices for fake authorship ranging significantly, indicating a thriving industry of paper mills."
The Trump administration dismissed all 22 members of the National Science Board, which oversees the NSF, without providing any explanation. This action aligns with a broader trend of undermining scientific advisory bodies. Additionally, researchers compiled data revealing that the price for fake authorship of research papers ranges from $57 to over $5,600, highlighting the prevalence of paper mills. This information could assist publishers in identifying vulnerable journals and topics susceptible to exploitation by these businesses.
