As a result of the "publish or perish" environment for biomedical journal authors, as well as new developments in open access publication models ("pay to publish") and rapid improvements in artificial intelligence large language models (like ChatGPT), troubling trends and a propensity for ethical violations now exists. Credit is commonly being taken for authorship by those who fail to meet authorial criteria, which is unethical. Experienced co-authors are providing inadequate diligence in drafting, critical review, and final approval of submitted articles, which is unethical, or at the very least, careless.

Trypanosomes are blood parasites capable of infecting nearly any vertebrate. Many Neotropical primates frequently host trypanosomes and are considered potential reservoirs for and other human-pathogenic trypanosomatids.

This results in quantity rather than quality; is ethically inappropriate; creates extra work for readers, future authors, reviewers, and editors; and can result in redundancy, self-plagiarism, publication overlap, and duplicate reporting of patient data that can result in inaccurate conclusions in systematic reviews. Increased awareness and actionable intervention can help to reverse this growing trend.
