papermill
Where sheets originate
A papermill is a factory that manufactures paper from wood pulp or other fibers.
The term has acquired a second meaning in academic contexts: an operation that produces essays, theses, or research papers for students or researchers to submit as their own work.
The journal retracted dozens of articles traced to a Chinese papermill.
By extension, papermill describes any system churning out low-quality content at volume.
