  • Continued investment in tools and systems to pick up suspect papers as they are submitted.
  • Engagement with institutions and funders to review incentives for researchers to publish valid papers and not use services that will give quick but fake publication.
  • Investigation of protocols that can be put in place to impede paper mills from succeeding in their goals.
  • Review the retraction process to take account of the unique features of paper mill papers.
  • Investigate how to ensure retraction notices are applied to all copies of a paper such as preprint servers and article repositories...."
