I mean, they just recently showed that a huge amount of scientific articles are just that, gibberish. Nonsensical scientific mumbo-jumbo wrapped up within a thin veneer of credibility. Scientific authors will pay for these in order to strengthen their resume.

I kinda wonder why they don't just skip a step, and just put fake stuff directly on the resume, but hey, they're the scientists

@jpreston2005 resumes are digital these days and you link to the DOI of your paper so recruiters and funders can check with one click.
