These could be tortured phrases (telltale signs of authors trying to hide plagiarised text), but they could also be poor but innocent translations of text first written by the authors in Chinese. Any suggestions how to distinguish those - is that’s even possible?</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicchatter</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/academicintegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicintegrity</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/TorturedPhrases" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TorturedPhrases</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/scienceintegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scienceintegrity</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PeerReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeerReview</span></a></p>
