Welcome from the Chair
3rd Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum Webinar
Technological Solutions to Paper Mills
In recent years, the volume of fraudulent research being produced and detected has grown rapidly. This is in no small way due to ‘paper mills’: organisations which create and sell fake research papers.
Detecting such fraud is challenging, but there are a growing number of successful technological approaches to this problem using a wide range of methods from computer vision, through natural language processing and graph analytics being developed by data science teams in the publishing industry.
Join us at the third webinar in the Basel Sustainable Publishing Forum event series to learn about the latest methods to detect and correct organised research fraud.
Date: 6 March 2023
Time: 11:00 am CET | 10:00 am GMT | 5:00 am EST | 6:00 pm CST Asia

Elsevier, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
I’m Savvas, an Electrical and Computer Engineer from Thessaloniki, Greece. I completed a master’s of Data Science, at the University of Amsterdam, and currently I’m working as a Data Scientist for Elsevier. During my student years, work revolved around machine learning applications on graphs. Being part of a research team at Elsevier, I am part of an initiative to detect and distinguish paper mill activities, by employing NLP, graph and statistical methods for that purpose.
