    You ought to link the Retraction Watch source, OP. Fostering a culture of responsible sourcing is incumbent on all of us.

    Hot take: Publishers do fuck all. Everyone can have their own book printed, and most of the repsonsibility for advertising goes towards the author anyway. So what does the publisher do then?

      What do publishers do? Editing, layout, other parts of design (e.g. covers), most importantly printing, marketing and distribution.

      Oh you mean what do scientific publishers do? Um… that’s a good one, huh… they just kinda take the money and leave everyone else to do the actual work?

    At what point can we conclude that publishers are like this intentionally?

      I came to the comments to make sure this joke had been made. Well played.

    Many of these springer textbooks were terrible before LLM fuckery.

      In my experience, as a soon to be mathematics graduate, you really have to research what texts are worth investing in.

      As someone who can’t focus on pdfs, I buy physical copies of texts. It’s a pain to work out what books are worth getting.

      Springer has some banger publications. But it also has so pretty shit ones. In my experience, most publishers are like that. I’ll never feel bad for pirating a book first to see if it’s worth getting.

      Fucking paying a week’s wage or more for slop - AI or otherwise.

    This news made a lot of splash in programmers’ communities a few months back.

    I hope Oxford Publishing is still reliable source of academic texts.
