We want to inform you of an issue that occurred last month with a submission to our journal, ‘Folia Toruniensia,’ from Vincent Opara of David Umahi Federal University of Health Sciences. During our review of the manuscript, ‘Cultural Heritage Stewardship in a dynamic age: A Theoretical Model for Application in African Society,’ one of our reviewers identified an issue with the references. It turns out that it contains non-existent publications. According to the reviewer, this is the result of using AI. We asked the author about this, but didn't receive a satisfactory answer. Consequently, we rejected the submission.
