    Well that’s… unfortunate. I’d like to know how the fuck that got past editors, typesetters and peer reviewers. I hope this is some universally ignored low impact factor pay to print journal.

      We all know Elsevier only upholds the highest standards, after all why would they have such a large market share?

        That name. Being a hobbyist with niche interests has made me hate them so very much. Scihub forever.

              Dear We are very sorry for this error that occurred, as we provided an incorrect version when submitting the revised paper, as we did not use AI tools to write anything, but one of the authors did, and we removed this paragraph, as this entire paragraph does not add anything to our article.( It seems that I did not save the modifications). We wrote the conclusion ourselves, without resorting to artificial intelligence tools. We hope you understand what happened, and we are very sorry. Here you can find the conclusion that we wrote ourselves Conclusion In conclusion, proper treatment of iatrogenic vascular injuries is dependent on an accurate assessment of the stage of the injury. The injury should be recognized quickly. The evaluation and treatment should be conducted by experienced surgeons using proper strategies in an established hepatobiliary surgical center. Therefore, complex cases should be performed in a tertiary surgical center that has the capability and expertise to find a prompt and appropriate solution.

              I understand that English probably isn’t his first language, but this reads like he used ChatGPT to write his apology

      Since the rest of the paper looks decent (I am no expert in this field), I have a guess: it got to review and it came back with a ‘minor review’ and the comment ‘please summarize XY at the end’.

      In low impact journals minor reviews are handeled in a way, that the editor trusts the scientists to address minor changes accordingly. Afterwards it goes to production, where some badly payed people – most of the time from India – put everything in format, send out a proof with a deadline of max 2 days and then it will be published.

      I don’t want to defend this practice, but thats how something like this can get through.
