In February 2022, IOP Publishing retracted 232 articles from Journal of Physics: Conference Series, for reasons including plagiarism, lack of actual peer review, and citation manipulation. Later, in September of that year, they retracted another 494 articles for having apparently been produced by a paper mill.
