Fictitious author identities and affiliations

In 2024, Energy Reports retracted two articles by Nicholas Zafetti [7] [8] for authorship manipulation and the fact that Zafetti's claimed affiliation, Clemson University, stated that "The records of the university do not support a relationship between Clemson University and Nicholas Zafetti as a student, faculty, or visiting scholar." In fact, Zafetti's identity is likely fictitious. [9]

At nearly the same time, an article by Dragan Rodriguez, allegedly of Case Western Reserve University, was retracted for similar reasons. [10] [11] Two other articles by Rodriguez remain without amendment as of February 2025. [12] [13]

Another article was retracted partly because one of the authors stated an affiliation to a fictitious company. [14]
