For this purpose, the mentioned academic papers are analyzed through a descriptive-analytic method in two main themes, including the ethics and principles of scientific research and the accuracy and reliability of the findings and results. The results of this study show that the mentioned papers possess several errors in term of adhering to the ethics and principles od scientific research. These errors include self-plagiarism, repetitive structures, repetitive and resembling titles, negligence over conducting research background, deficiency in the structure and framework of the whole article, and the absence of integrity, which means copying and quoting other resources without any citation to the original reference, using false and inaccurate quotes and changing or manipulating the sayings of other references. Moreover, including non-fiction texts, dilating unnecessary and irrelevant themes and topics, bringing up inaccurate analysis and evidence, neglecting over the reliability of claims, and finally, the absence of any new, clear and correct findings are the issues showing that all the analyzed papers lack the authenticity and reliability necessary for the scientific research. Considering the main purpose of all these papers which is to prove that tales and minimalistic stories are the same literary genres, producing several academic papers on the same topic has no academic necessity.
