"Would you pay $169 for an introductory ebook on machine learning with
citations that appear to be made up?
If not, you might want to pass on purchasing
Mastering Machine Learning: From
Basics to Advanced, published by Springer Nature in April.
Based on a tip from a reader, we checked 18 of the 46 citations in the book.
Two-thirds of them either did not exist or had substantial errors. And three
researchers cited in the book confirmed the works they supposedly authored were
fake or the citation contained substantial errors."
