Earlier this year, computer scientist Guillaume Cabanac received a 
notification from Google Scholar that one of his publications had 
been cited in a paper published in the International Dental Journal1. 
That was unexpected, because his research on spotting fabricated 
papers doesn’t typically intersect with dentistry. “I was very 
surprised to see that I couldn’t recognize my own reference,” 
says Cabanac, who is based at the University of Toulouse in France.
