Yes; that's for real. Lesné has been doctoring images in bogus papers on Alzheimer's for a long time. There were previous posts in this group about this character -- I'm inclined to say "crook". -- Saul Lubkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 It's hard to stop a fraudster who has academic credentials and actually tries to produce something credible. But some journals don't even catch blatant scams like: A Neuroscientist Just Tricked 4 Dodgy Journals Into Accepting a Fake Paper on 'Midi-Chlorians' The papers were submitted by Dr. Lucas McGeorge and Dr. Annette Kin Strange Research Paper Claims There's a Black Hole at the Center of the Earth Don't worry — there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

The most likely explanation, according to Cambridge University mathematician Sarah Rasmussen, is that the authors purposely submitted a ridiculous paper in order to expose "predatory journals" that purport to be normal, peer-reviewed publications, but in reality apply little scrutiny to material that they publish, often in order to collect publication fees.
