The Australian Centre for Health Services Innovation (AusHSI) at Queensland University of Technology has a PhD scholarship for an outstanding candidate to start in early 2024. The aim of the project is to detect fraudulent papers that were created by paper mills. The project will involve working with large data, text mining, and prediction modelling. The work is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council and is part of a larger project on detecting problematic papers. AusHSI has many other PhD students working on health and economic projects, and a diverse staff of economists, statisticians, clinicians, and implementation scientists.

Please contact Prof Adrian Barnett (a.barnett@qut.edu.au) to talk about this opportunity.
