Only 6 months later, all three authors announced in The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists they had discovered tortured phrases in over 3,000 peer-reviewed articles, some within high-ranked journals. And it seemed that nobody had noticed. thebulletin.org/2022... 17/31

"Bosom peril" is not "breast cancer": How weird computer-generated phrases help researchers find scientific publishing fraud
Many fraudulent scientific papers contain "tortured phrases," standard scientific terms paraphrased into gibberish. Breast cancer is a scary disease, but what is bosom peril? These phrases are likely popping up because scientists, to boost their article count, are running texts through paraphrasing software, which helps them avoid plagiarism accusations. And new AI technologies may be crafting some article text from whole cloth.
