Smut Clyde congratulates Aging: “This is bespoke tailoring, in contrast to the off-the-rack products cranked out by the average papermill […] no shame befalls the journals that accept these confections.”
Papermills run by Chinese universities and funding a notorious Greek publisher. Smut Clyde tells it all!
“the Committee believes that when carelessness or scientific dishonesty can be found in so many articles with so many different authors in question, there must be a lack of training and / or lack of control over data handling.

Smut Clyde was busy with yet another Chinese paper mill. A plastic ruler was deployed.
“This is electrophoresis porn, readers, a phrase that I never expected to find myself writing.” -Smut Clyde
