A biologist was shocked to find his name was mentioned several times in a scientific paper, which references papers that simply don’t exist.

As someone who just submitted an article for review I am gobsmacked by how brazenly the authors have done this. The absolute disregard for integrity and the knowledge production process is astounding. But also the balls to just submit a paper like this without fear of the consequences says something more profound about the state of academia.
