Journal Corrects Retraction Over Tortured Phrases

Sage's Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology corrected a retraction in January after a February 2022 cardiology paper was flagged for 'tortured phrases' that appeared to evade plagiarism checks. Researchers including Guillaume Cabanac showed the phrases match outputs from spinbot-style text spinners rather than large language models, prompting publishers to update notices and consider improved screening and fingerprint databases.
