As someone that works in academia, you'd be surprised how many academics never get their qualifications sighted for employment at a university. I've heard a few stories of renowned individuals admitting to fake degrees before retirement, suddenly rendering their highly cited papers ignored after 20 years of publication.
cited ?
The studies are just in a very public place
Nope.
Papers are cited.
Qualifications are to be physically seen.
If there is doubt or the qualification can't be physically shown, it's a small mission to follow up with the institution they are alleged to come from—often a fee attached and time involved.
...*there
I'm sorry!
Haha, that one, yes.
