Research misconduct is an understudied topic. Behind the classic publish or perish axiom, there are multiple and evolving reasons trying to improve the publication of research papers. Paper mills have become a worrying phenomenon in the last years. Nevertheless, many researchers are still unaware of what they are, their consequences and the areas of knowledge most linked to them. Some estimations indicate that paper mills may consist in 10% of published literature and this figure might be growing. Predatory journals are not new but, ultimately, they are being harder to differentiate from honest and respected journals. In the last years the term predatory has also included some editorials which are questioned for their practices. Other forms of research misconduct are also growing, such as the use of AI technologies even for peer-review, or the creation of fake reviews.<\/p>\n
