The researchers in this paper use an astonishingly biased "fake paper detector", requiring only two conditions to be met for any paper to be considered "fake":

1. Use a non-institutional email address, or have a hospital affiliation, 2. Have no international co-authors.

And they acknowledge 86% sensitivity and 44% specificity. It's a coin-toss which biases massively against research from outside the US and Western Europe.

This "paper" is bigoted nonsense.
