Anna. O. Szust hoax
The hoax was coined against predatory journals: http://www.nature.com/news/predatory-journals-recruit-fake-editor-1.21662 Xx236 (talk) 09:05, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

What's the Deal with Birds?
My favourite example of a predatory journal falling for a hoax article was the much-ridiculed (see, for example, Kathryn Krawczyk's April 15 2020 piece What's the deal with birds? This magnificent scientific paper examines) paper "What's the Deal with Birds?" published in the Scientific Journal of Research and Reviews in April 2020. I see it has been entirely deleted from the record by its publisher, Iris Publishers, which just goes to show that they can't even retract an article in the correct (i.e. honest and transparent) way.

 * Why not add it to the article? --ehn (talk) 08:45, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Hatixhe Latifi Pupovci
This case does not sound like a sting to expose credulous or predatory reviewers. It is a simple financial 'sting.' Should it be included here? Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 22:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The intro text states "the list does not include cases of scientific misconduct." I moved this case to a new 'Financial stings' section, but I'm thinking it ought to be removed under this criteria. Anyone agree? Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 22:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
