Associate Professor Publishes Suspect AI-Generated Neuroscience Papers

Eren Öğüt, an associate professor, published 25 papers and reportedly reviewed nearly 650 manuscripts in 2025, prompting scrutiny from reviewers. Multiple Springer Nature journals flagged incoherent figures, irrelevant MATLAB code, and literature-style discussions, and the author’s online profiles disappeared after inquiries. Springer Nature has referred his submissions to its Research Integrity Group for detailed examination, and the investigation is ongoing.
