The Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides (COSIG) brings together 27 freely available resources that explain how to spot image duplication, citation manipulation, plagiarism, tortured phrases and other hallmarks of paper mills — businesses that produce fake papers to order. The guides also provide tips for reviewing papers in specific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, statistics and computer science.

“A lot of people assume that you need some special talent, you need eagle eyes to see things, or you need to be at your computer ten hours a day looking through the scientific literature. But really, anybody can do it,” says Richardson. “That’s one of our mantras.”

    Yup, go research hydrogen fuel cells, it’s mind blowing how much garbage is published. It’s a failed experiment that needs to be left in 1900’s.

      I know that it takes a lot of energy to separate hydrogen from oxygen in water. Without something like nuclear powering the electrolysis, there’s no way that it looks remotely feasible to me.

      That’s just my snap analysis without doing any research beyond what I already know.

        See, that’s the trick: electrolyzing water to make hydrogen is hard, but cracking methane (CH4) to get it is much easier and props up the fossil fuel industry. So there’s a lot of vested interest in pushing fuel cells as a green washing scam.

        What could be tried is to use night energy as there are less consumers they could add hydrogen plants to stabilise the grid instead of shutting down renewables
        Edit: i dont mean that this scales well
