Verantwoording bij het onderzoek naar spookbronnen in wetenschappelijke artikelen – De Groene Amsterdammer

From DeepL's English: Earlier this year, it emerged that dozens of papers accepted at one of the world’s most prestigious AI conferences, NeurIPS, cited academic publications that did not exist at all. This was despite the fact that every manuscript undergoes a rigorous peer-review process and only a fraction of the submitted papers are accepted. In the months that followed, similar cases came to light at other academic conferences and in journals.

This prompted *De Groene Amsterdammer* and Data School (Utrecht University) to take a closer look at Dutch academia. How often do scientific publications by researchers at Dutch universities contain such phantom references? And is that number increasing now that generative AI is finding its way into academia more and more frequently?
