citation authenticity

The citation authenticity tag on WindowsForum.com covers the growing problem of fabricated citations produced by generative AI models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Discussions focus on how AI hallucinations create non-existent papers, journal series, and archival records, forcing archivists, librarians, and researchers to spend significant time verifying sources. The tag explores the operational, legal, and scholarly challenges that arise when institutions must prove a negative, as well as the real-world impact of AI-generated slop on research integrity and citation authenticity.
