  • Using bibliometrics to detect questionable authorship and affiliation practices and their impact on global research metrics

    Open AccessLokman I Meho, Elie A AklARTICLEQuantitative Science Studies2025

    From 2019 to 2023, a subset of 80 highly published universities demonstrated research output increases exceeding 100%, compared to the global average of 20%. Among these, 14 institutions showed significant declines in first authorship rates, raising questions about their authorship and affiliation practices. We employed bibliometric analysis to examine shifts in authorship and affiliation dynamics at these universities. Key findings include a 234…
