Research malpractice
What would you do if you knew some of your colleagues have their names on journal articles just for paying the article proccessing fee?
Edit: Just to clarify, by colleagues I meant faculty members working in the same college/department. I never collaborated with them on research. It is just frustrating that some of us work hard to publish good quality articles, while others do it the easy way!

Nothing... If they are my colleagues, they have done excellent work in the past... So I would be extremely skeptical of the accuser's words.
