I’ve never seen it from my students. Why do you think this? It’s trivial to pick a real book/article. No student is generating fake material whole cloth and fake references to match. Even if they could, why would they risk it?
TBD whether that makes the effort to spot-check their references greater (does actually say what the student - explicitly or implicitly - claims it does?), or less (proving the non-existence of an obscure references is proving a negative)?
