Purpose: The article is a theoretical one and aims to presents potential threats for academics and science development in the context of corporate university model which is functioning in other countries. Design/methodology/approach: Critical literature review, especially concentrating on studies which results refer to the experiences of academics from countries where corporate university model has been implemented. Findings: Dominating organizational culture of competition and continuous audits based on citations (IF) evidently contribute to the number of publications and their citations. Unfortunately, at the same time there is also a growing amount of publications, including JCR journals, which do not add any value the science. “Scientists” who “produce” these papers are entrepreneurs able to use the Questionable Research Practices. Research limitations/implications: There is a need to develop and publicize this problem because it is a real threat to science. It is necessary to pay greater attention to ethics in the scientist's conduct and to introduce mechanisms to discourage potential "entrepreneurs". Originality/value: The article highlights a new research and social problem, which is a fraud in science.
