Il y a quelque chose de pourri au royaume de la publication scientifique : "Une analyse de 100 000 numéros spéciaux de revues universitaires révèle qu'un numéro sur huit contient des articles rédigés par le rédacteur en chef, en particulier chez l'éditeur MDPI."

Microplastics found in rural woodland at higher levels than in city centers
Air-polluting microplastics have been found in rural environments in greater quantities than in urban locations, researchers say. Scientists led by the University of Leeds detected up to 500 microscopic particles of plastic per square meter per day in an area of woodland during the three-month study—almost twice as much as in a sample collected in a city center. The findings are published in the journal Environmental Pollution.

What we witnessed was not journalism but the choreography of propaganda.
CBS, in particular, offered thirty uninterrupted minutes of state-sanctioned fantasy,
anchored by a fawning interview with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth,
a man implicated in the killing of more than one hundred people at sea without evidence, accountability, or due process.

At no point did either network rais…

A journalistic institution would investigate that claim, track down the reviewer in question, get to the bottom of the story. A PR outlet would just repeat some vendor’s product claims as fact and click “publish.”
Which one is Nature?

Note that the headline treats this product’s output as established fact:
❝Major AI conference flooded with peer reviews written fully by AI❞
They didn’t even have the journalistic decency to append “claims AI detection company.” Note the passive voice in the sub-headline:
❝Controversy has erupted after 21% of manuscript reviews for an international AI conference were found to be generated by artificial intelligence.❞
“were found”…by whom? Nobody. It’s just a magic fact.
