SCIgen is an automatic generator of random, syntactically valid but meaningless computer science research papers, originally from MIT CSAIL. It produces LaTeX-formatted papers complete with abstracts, figures, and references for satire and testing peer review.
Use cases
- generate a fake computer science paper for fun
- test conference peer review quality with a nonsense submission
- create random LaTeX documents with generated text and figures
- satirize academic publishing and spam conferences
- produce sample academic-looking PDFs for demos
When to choose
- you want to generate satirical or hoax academic papers in LaTeX
- you need a classic tool for testing whether a venue has real peer review
- you want randomly generated CS-style text, graphs, and citations
When to avoid
- you need genuinely useful or truthful research text generation
- you want a modern LLM-based text generator
- you need polished documentation or easy installation - setup is largely undocumented
