El resumen
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in New York City announced the removal of 1,417 conference papers in a statement reported by Nature.[1] According to Nature, research-integrity specialists note that this action represents the largest single bulk retraction ever issued by any scholarly publisher. The withdrawn articles originated from 366 conference proceedings published between 2021 and 2026, and a study flagged them for connections to commercial paper mills that sell authorship slots.[2] Nature reported that the publisher initiated a comprehensive review after an external study identified irregularities, concluding that the affected publications violated core publishing principles. The retraction notices specify that the pulled manuscripts may have been offered for sale on various social media channels. Data analyzed by Nature indicates that the organization has pulled nearly 3,000 papers overall during the current year.[3] While independent sleuths and researchers continue to audit problematic literature across multiple publishers, the full extent of fraudulent submissions remaining undetected in other conference archives is not yet fully known, according to reporting by Nature.
