Researcher Sarah Hooker speculates that the wave of fake conference submissions is likely coming from a handful of universities, particularly lesser-known institutions where authorship is harder to verify.
Her recommendations:
- Cap submissions per author per conference
- Publish organization-level submission statistics to trace submission bursts
- Isolate fake profiles faster before they reach human reviewers
