One single meaningless test:
I am not a scientist and do not want to draw any general lessons but I took a document about an ALS gene therapy that I wrote for private use, and used the tool mentioned in the article.
It found a distant article about a tumor protein.
Indeed both documents are unrelated, mine was not published and they have very little in common, only the word protein.

- JPLeRouzic 8y agoThis one: http://scigendetection.imag.fr/TPD52/ http://scigendetection.imag.fr/TPD52/ Citation: Informatician Cyril Labbé at Grenoble Alps University in France and I have developed a tool, Seek & Blastn (go.nature.com/2hsk06q), to identify such papers on the basis of wrongly identified nucleotide sequences. So far, our work has uncovered dozens of papers and resulted in 17 retractions, with several investigations pending (see Nature 551, 422–423; 2017).
