"Flagged references underwent sequential filters to minimise false positives: automated pattern detection removed parsing artefacts, and an LLM (Claude 3.5 Haiku; Anthropic, San Francisco, CA, USA) screened remaining candidates to distinguish genuine fabrications from formatting discrepancies such as informally abbreviated titles."

@petersuber fake citations in published work or submitted work@petersuber looks like it's published work. All of this just shows how fake and broken the publishing industry is.
