The Veritas Press case: a paper mill hiding behind a cooperative

Mara Ruzic · 2024-06-05

Veritas Press of Tirana presents itself as an author-owned cooperative. Documents obtained by SciHonest show a different picture: tight vertical control, off-book payments to a small ring of editors at indexed journals, and a pattern of ghost-authorship sold at piece rates.

We expect regulators in at least two countries to open files on Veritas this quarter. We will update this story as confirmations arrive.
