More recently at #WCRI2026, Renee Hoch presented PLOS data on large paper mill cases showing a sharp rise among articles published in 2020, another spike in 2021 and high levels ever since, and argued that AI makes paper mill content easier to produce and harder to detect. 2/4

(3/4) ATLAS is a new encyclopedia that brings those definitions together instead of replacing them and adds context, a real example and an infographic. Every entry is opened for comment across fields, sectors and countries, then revised until it works for all of them.

(2/4) Definitions already exist for most of the terms we use every day, written carefully by people who know their field. But each one comes from inside a single community. It makes sense to the people who wrote it, less so to everyone else.

(1/4) The challenges facing research are systemic, crossing institutions, disciplines and borders, and no single player can answer them alone. This is why it matters that we do not always understand each other.

It started with a misspelled word. Nature’s feature on review mills builds on the work of María Ángeles Oviedo-García, who coined the term. In summer 2023 she spotted a typo in an open peer review, searched for it, and found the same report filed by different reviewers. 1/3
