How to spot fake scientists

Pay attention to the following red flags to spot fake scientists:

  • All the material about their work was produced by themselves or their teams. 
  • No peer-reviewed research. It’s not a good sign if you do a quick search in Google Scholar and nothing comes up.
  • A vague biography that leaves out important information such as their alma mater. 
  • Made-up scientific terms not used by anyone else in the scientific community.

CURATOR'S NOTE

There is of course no sure-fire way to know for certain whether you are looking at the work of an honest scientist, especially if you are not an expert in their particular field, but these signs taken in combination can be a good indication to proceed with caution. Especially when the research topic is around health and wellness, teaching yourself and your loved ones to be skeptical can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.
