How to spot suspicious papers: a sleuthing guide for scientists
Briefly

The Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides (COSIG), created by research-integrity experts, offers a comprehensive toolkit for identifying suspicious scientific papers. With 27 resources, COSIG assists researchers in spotting issues such as image duplication and plagiarism. The initiative aims to empower a growing community of science sleuths and help publishers and research-integrity officers. Its origin stemmed from concerns over poor-quality publications and seeks to democratize the process of maintaining scientific integrity.
The sleuthing community is growing. And this will be the essential handbook.
COSIG is really a compendium of all the tips and tricks that various sleuths have acquired over the years.
