Seems to me...

Any author of a published paper who will not stand behind the paper should have their name removed.

When there is just one name left, that person either accepts responsibility for the content, or they too disavow it and get removed.

When there are no names left, the paper is retracted.



More than that, they should have their degree revoked too.

The spam in these journals puts Buzzfeed to shame.
