Scholarly publishing and teaching are confronting fresh integrity risks as AI tools proliferate. Journal editors report a surge in submissions with AI‑generated fake citations and fabricated references, forcing tighter vetting and new editorial protocols.

Universities must balance AI’s pedagogical value with escalating risks to research and citation trustworthiness.
