摘要

学术界的知识创造是建立在前人研究的基础上的。这种传统的奖学金是通过使用引文在新论文中追踪的。在学术论文中引用先前的工作创建了一个相关奖学金的网络，作为后续工作的坚实基础。然而，这篇论文的作者列举了“伪造引用”的例子，几乎可以肯定是由大型语言模型创建的，这些模型代表了实际上不存在的学术工作。作者追踪了文献中这些假冒引文的传播，并讨论了它们造成的损害，在受影响的引文数据库中测量比较价值的方法，以及对这一问题的潜在补救措施。

The citation catastrophe: Propagation of AI-generated counterfeit citations in scholarship

Knowledge creation in the academy is built upon the research of previous scholars. This legacy scholarship is tracked in new papers through the use of citations. Citations of prior work in academic papers create a network of related scholarship that serves as a firm foundation for successive work. However, the authors of this paper document examples of “counterfeit citations”, almost certainly created by Large Language Models, which represent academic work which does not actually exist. The authors track the propagation of these example counterfeit citations in the literature and discuss the damage they cause, means of measuring comparative value in affected citation databases, and potential remediation of this problem moving forward.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Academic Librarianship, an international and refereed journal, publishes articles that focus on problems and issues germane to college and university libraries. JAL provides a forum for authors to present research findings and, where applicable, their practical applications and significance; analyze policies, practices, issues, and trends; speculate about the future of academic librarianship; present analytical bibliographic essays and philosophical treatises. JAL also brings to the attention of its readers information about hundreds of new and recently published books in library and information science, management, scholarly communication, and higher education. JAL, in addition, covers management and discipline-based software and information policy developments.
