"The matter is being looked into by the related investigators," he said.
How to create a nonsense paper http://www.nature.com/news/publishers-withdraw-more-than-120-gibberish-papers-1.14763?WT.mc_id=TWT_NatureNews Labbé developed a way to automatically detect manuscripts composed by a piece of software called SCIgen, which randomly combines strings of words to produce fake computer-science papers. SCIgen was invented in 2005 by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge to prove that conferences would accept meaningless papers — and, as they put it, “to maximize amusement” (see ‘Computer conference welcomes gobbledegook paper’). A related program generates random physics manuscript titles on the satirical website arXiv vs. snarXiv. SCIgen is free to download and use, and it is unclear how many people have done so, or for what purposes. SCIgen’s output has occasionally popped up at conferences, when researchers have submitted nonsense papers and then revealed the trick. Labbé does not know why the papers were submitted — or even if the authors were aware of them. Most of the conferences took place in China, and most of the fake papers have authors with Chinese affiliations. Labbé has emailed editors and authors named in many of the papers and related conferences but received scant replies; one editor said that he did not work as a program chair at a particular conference, even though he was named as doing so, and another author claimed his paper was submitted on purpose to test out a conference, but did not respond on follow-up. Nature has not heard anything from a few enquiries. “I wasn’t aware of the scale of the problem, but I knew it definitely happens Posted by one under god, Thursday, 19 June 2014 11:30:51 AM

Government policy is only as good or bad, as the public service advice it receives, or acts on, or is the final arbiter, of which policy paradigms, get the official nod or roll out.
Which probably explains, why we, with one single exception, are the most over-governed people on the planet, or can boast, the most complex and or porous/loop hole loaded, tax system on earth?
For mine, and given outcomes, senior public service figures should be on 3-4 year contracts, and changed with every change of government, to at the very least, "ALLOW" some of the overdue reforms, they almost alone, resist or repeatedly advise against?
And if proven true, makes them the real power behind the throne, so to speak?
