Coercive citation, cite my paper or elsemalirohwani
This is my final presentation of research project on Coercive Citation. While the article focuses on economics, business, sociology and psychology, the problem is likely endemic to all journals. Coercive citation can also be practiced by an individual serving as editor of a journal with the aim to boost one’s own citations. Failure to recognize this trend is likely to cause an underestimation of the breadth of practice in this topic. I recently conducted my study for an individual Professor Nelson Tansu in electrical engineering. My analysis based on tangible data is compelling and appalling
This document discusses self-citation abuse in academic proceedings. It provides examples of one researcher who excessively self-cited their own work in proceedings publications and published the same papers across multiple venues. Specifically, the researcher included 40+ self-citations out of 49 total references in one paper and published the same content in proceedings and journals. The document argues that proceedings allow easy abuse through self-citation and duplicate publication in order to artificially inflate metrics like citation counts and h-index. It recommends limiting the number of references and percentage of self-citations allowed in proceedings to prevent this type of opportunistic behavior.
Being authors from Asian countries make it a vulnerable target for Editor to coerce citation. Journal editors can strategically target younger professors from Asian countries. The editor forces authors to add unnecessary citations to an article before the journal will agree to publish it. The editor knows that the authors need to get their papers published and therefore more willing to add any unnecessary citations. This article shows a proof in the IEEE OSA Journal of Display Technology Journal, which has 2 special issues on Recent advances in solid state lighting.
How to increase your h index and paper citation zwentang
Nelson Tansu was able to increase his h-index from 20 to 43 in just 3 years by employing strategies like heavy self-citation of his own work, encouraging students and co-authors to cite his papers, publishing the same work multiple times with self-citations, presenting many non-refereed conference papers containing self-citations, rapidly self-citing in the first two sentences of papers, becoming an editor of journals to coerce citations to his work from authors, and forming citation clubs or cartels with colleagues. Some of these strategies have been criticized as questionable or coercive ways to artificially boost citations and metrics.
The document provides guidance on proper citation and reference formatting. It discusses the importance of accurately citing sources in manuscripts to avoid plagiarism. It also addresses different citation styles, including the Vancouver and Harvard systems, and notes there can be variations in style guidelines between journals. The document provides examples and recommendations for formatting citations within the text and listing complete references at the end, emphasizing the need for consistency.

Scientifc journal plagiarism and citation manipulationmalirohwani
The document discusses issues of scientific integrity in academic publishing, including plagiarism, citation manipulation, and self-citation. It provides several examples of authors and journals engaging in these questionable practices, such as a journal editor publishing review articles that cited their own journal's papers to influence the impact factor, and a researcher having over 40 self-citations in a single conference paper. The conclusion advocates for placing great emphasis on scientific integrity in writing, reviewing, and evaluating academic work.
This document provides an introduction to research articles and how to identify them. It explains that research articles are published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and have specific characteristics, such as being lengthy and including references. While scholarly journals may contain other article types like editorials, research articles can be identified by having an abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections. The document also provides guidance on searching for research articles in databases like ProQuest Central.
This document discusses how to evaluate medical journals using impact factors and choose where to publish research. It defines impact factors as the average number of citations to a journal's articles over the past two years. High impact factors indicate more influential journals. The document provides tips on finding impact factors in the Journal Citation Reports database and viewing top journals in various fields. It also gives data on MD Anderson's publications in some of the most highly cited journals and recommends additional factors to consider when selecting a journal for submission.

Highly cited references in PLOS ONE and their in-text usage over timeGESIS
This document analyzes how highly cited references are used over time in the journal PLOS ONE. It finds that:
1) Over half of highly cited references are cited in the Method section. References with longer citation intervals (older at time of citing) are more likely to be cited in the Method section.
2) The proportion of sections changes over time, with newer references more likely to be cited in the Introduction and older references in the Method section.
3) The average number of co-citations in a sentence declines as the citation interval increases, meaning older references tend to be cited alone rather than with other references in a sentence.
This document discusses various metrics for measuring the impact and importance of academic journals, articles, and authors. It describes journal impact factors, h-indexes, and other bibliometric tools like Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, and Scopus that provide citation data. It notes that no single tool provides comprehensive coverage and that metrics can be influenced by many factors. The document cautions that impact metrics should not replace peer review and various limitations must be considered. It also introduces altmetrics that measure social media mentions as a new way to assess research impact.

The structure of citation networks provides evidence about how scientific information is diffused. Problematic citation patterns include the selective citation of positive findings, citation bias, as well as the continued citation of retracted literature (i.e. literature formally withdrawn due to error, fraud, or ethical problems). For instance, there is some evidence that positive results tend to receive more citations. The public domain licensing of the Open Citations Corpus makes it possible, in principle, to estimate the likelihood that any network of research papers suffers from problematic citation. To-date, problematic citation been documented ad-hoc, in several striking studies. In Alzheimer's disease research, biased citation, ignoring critical findings, was used to support successful U.S. NIH grant proposals (Greenberg 2009). Mistranslation of obesity research has been used to justify exertion game research (Marshall & Linehan 2017). Citation of fraudulent research about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease continued after its retraction (Fulton et al. 2015). The data resulting from such studies is of great use to my lab in replicating and determining how to generalize the detection of problematic citation patterns. Previously, the detection of problematic citation patterns has been a side effect of astute researchers, noticing suspicious findings while conducting systematic literature reviews. This talk will describe work-in-progress in my lab detecting problematic citation patterns using natural language processing, combined with network analysis on the Open Citations Corpus.
Traditional metrics, such as the h-index and journal impact factors, are used to measure the scholarly impact of research. However, in the current climate of accountability by funding providers, fund recipients would benefit from a more comprehensive impact management system (IMS) to facilitate the capture and reporting of narratives (including metrics) about research impact in the academy, on social policy, in industry, and ultimately with the public.
Librarians have always been good at telling and facilitating stories. Research support librarians can use their storytelling skills to contribute to the implementation and administration of an impact management system. Being able to translate research impact into harvestable and reportable metadata is the key.
Citation Metrics: Established and Emerging ToolsLinda Galloway
Citation metrics tools can be used to measure the impact of scholarly work. Established tools like Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar provide citation counts and metrics like an author's h-index. Emerging altmetrics tools measure impact through social media mentions, saves, downloads, and other non-traditional sources. While still new, altmetrics provide a broader view of impact beyond citations alone. Librarians should be aware of both established and emerging citation metrics tools to help faculty evaluate research.
Towards knowledge maintenance in scientific digital libraries with the keysto...jodischneider
JCDL2020 full paper.
Abstract:
Scientific digital libraries speed dissemination of scientific publications, but also the propagation of invalid or unreliable knowledge. Although many papers with known validity problems are highly cited, no auditing process is currently available to determine whether a citing paper’s findings fundamentally depend on invalid or unreliable knowledge. To address this, we introduce a new framework, the keystone framework, designed to identify when and how citing unreliable findings impacts a paper, using argumentation theory and citation context analysis. Through two pilot case studies, we demonstrate how the keystone framework can be applied to knowledge maintenance tasks for digital libraries, including addressing citations of a non-reproducible paper and identifying statements most needing validation in a high-impact paper. We identify roles for librarians, database maintainers, knowledge base curators, and research software engineers in applying the framework to scientific digital libraries.

Citation Analysis: From Publication to Impact - Anne-Wil HarzingCharlies1000
This document discusses citation analysis and using Google Scholar as a complement to the ISI Web of Science for measuring research impact. It notes that Google Scholar provides a more comprehensive citation count by including citations from non-journal sources like books and conferences. Additionally, Google Scholar has better coverage of non-English publications. The document recommends using Publish or Perish software to facilitate citation searches and analysis using Google Scholar. It suggests that total citations and h-index are useful metrics for evaluating individual researchers.
The Right Metrics for Generation Open [Open Access Week 2014]Impactstory Team
The traditional way to understand and demonstrate your impact–through citation counts–doesn’t meet the needs of today’s researchers. What Generation Open needs is altmetrics.
In this presentation, we cover:
- what altmetrics are and the types of altmetrics today’s researchers can expect to receive,
- how you can track and share those metrics to get all the credit you deserve, and
- real life examples of scientists who used altmetrics to get grants and tenure

Impact factor (using impact factor to assess the impact of a journal)shri mangalambikai
The impact factor (IF) is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. It is used to measure the importance or rank of a journal by calculating the times it's articles are cited.
Impact Factors are useful, but they should not be the only consideration when judging quality. Not all journals are tracked in the JCR database and, as a result, do not have impact factors. New journals must wait until they have a record of citations before even being considered for inclusion. The scientific worth of an individual article has nothing to do with the impact factor of a journal.
The document discusses how to get and increase a journal's impact factor. It explains that impact factor is calculated based on the number of citations a journal receives and how often its articles are cited by other articles. Journals can get their first impact factor by being selected for coverage by Thomson Reuters, which involves meeting standards for publishing, editorial content, and international diversity. The best way to increase impact factor is to attract high-quality articles through growing submissions and visibility, publishing review articles, and promoting articles on social media and through open access. Editors emphasize attracting international authors and high-quality papers reviewed through rigorous processes.
The impact factor is a measure of the citations to a journal and is calculated by Thomson Reuters. To obtain an impact factor, a journal must be selected for coverage by Thomson Reuters, which usually occurs three years after initial submission. Journals can then work to increase their impact factor by attracting high quality papers from international authors and promoting open access to increase citations. Editors emphasize publishing innovative, highly cited work and ensuring their journal is widely accessible online to improve their impact factor over time.
Research proposal and assessment of outputs jan 2021. prof.s.p.singhSaurashtra University
This is about the preparation of research proposals for PhD research and research projects. Further, it also includes the matrix and Indexes to evaluate research outputs.
1. The document summarizes a journal club presentation which discussed different types of articles published in journals including editorials, review articles, original research articles, case reports, and letters to the editor.
2. It provided details on what constitutes each type of article and their purposes. For example, it stated that an editorial can critique other articles, review recent topics, and deliver concise messages from the editor.
3. The document also discussed other topics like how impact factor is calculated to measure a journal's importance, how to write a literature review, and the components of original research articles and case reports. It provided guidance on writing different types of academic articles and participating in journal club discussions.
Citation indexes and impact factors are important measures for research. Citation indexes allow researchers to find the impact of articles on later publications and identify the latest areas of research. The impact factor of a journal is calculated based on the average number of citations received by articles published in that journal in the past two years. It is used to measure the importance and rank of journals. Other measures like the h-index, eigenfactor, and z-influence can also provide insights into the influence and quality of published work. Citation analysis using these metrics helps evaluate the impact of authors, journals, and research.
Research metrics are quantitative analyses used to assess the quality, impact, and influence of scholarly research outputs. Key metrics include journal impact factors, author metrics, article metrics, and altmetrics. Journal impact factors are calculated based on the number of citations a journal's articles receive. Author metrics measure researcher impact and productivity. Article metrics track citations of individual works. Altmetrics provide broader measures of online attention and impact.
Publishing in Credible Journals and disseminating Research to different Audi...tccafrica
This document provides information on publishing research in credible journals and disseminating research to different audiences. It discusses the history of scholarly publishing, reasons for publishing, what makes a journal credible, issues with impact factor and predatory journals. Specifically, it outlines the brief history of scholarly publishing dating back to the 14th century. It explains that publishing can improve careers by increasing one's h-index measure. It also provides tips on assessing the credibility of journals based on peer review process, citation indices, publishing history and impact factor. Finally, it warns about predatory open access journals and provides indicators for identifying them.
This document discusses research metrics and how they are used to measure the impact and influence of scientific research. It defines several types of metrics including journal impact factors, author metrics, article metrics, and altmetrics. It also explains how impact factors are calculated for journals and describes other measures like the h-index, SNIP, and IPP that provide additional ways to evaluate research outputs and impacts. Scopus and the Web of Science are identified as databases used to find citation counts and metrics.
This document analyzes the 126 most frequently cited articles on adsorption published between 1900 and 2011. It finds that these articles have been cited an average of 1014 times each. The majority (80%) of these top cited articles were published after 1970. The articles were published across 55 journals, with the Journal of the American Chemical Society publishing the most. The top cited countries were the United States, comprising over half of the articles. The document analyzes characteristics such as publication year trends, citing journals, citing authors and institutions to understand the impact and influence of highly cited papers in the field of adsorption research.
Most of the junior research fellows, upcoming scientists may not be aware of - what is the impact factor, how it is calculated and how can we use the impact factor. Most of the people will think that impact factor is important in assessing the quality of a journal. Here one should keep in mind that impact factor of a journal is no way related to the main quality parameters like peer review, detection of plagiarism, citations of the articles published in a journal etc.. Though there are many review articles published on impact factor, again I have summarized those points just to educate our readers.
This document provides an introduction and instructions for using three bibliometric tools: Scopus, Web of Science, and Publish or Perish. It explains how to use each tool to find citation metrics like an author's h-index and analyze the impact of journals. Examples are given for searching for authors like Nancy Rothwell and journals like the Journal of Neuroscience Research. Contact information is provided for help with using the bibliometric resources.
This document discusses journal impact factors and how they are calculated. The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) defines top journals and tracks the number of citations to their articles in their Journal Citation Reports (JCR). A journal's impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of citations in the current year to articles from the previous two years by the total number of articles published in the previous two years. Impact factors help researchers identify important journals in their field.
This document provides an overview of various bibliometric products and metrics that can be used to measure research impact, including journal impact factor, h-index, citation counts, and journal/article ranking tools from Journal Citation Reports, Scopus, and Google Scholar. It discusses the purpose and calculations of metrics like impact factor, eigenfactor, and source normalized impact per paper (SNIP). It also covers limitations of bibliometrics and recommends using multiple metrics and tools to evaluate research. Exercises are provided to help understand how to analyze journals, articles, and individual researchers using different bibliometric resources.
This document provides an introduction to citation searching and journal citation reports. It outlines how to use citation searching to find highly cited articles and authors, as well as those who have cited your own work.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

*To decide which papers meet the criteria for
scientific excellence and relevance for the
community the journal serves
*To seek out exciting new areas for publication;
identify and solicit thought-provoking and
controversial papers
*To assure that all submitted manuscripts
receive prompt, critical evaluation, and meet
or better timeliness goals
5. *
*The instructions to authors will need reviewing
to ensure they are up to date with current
guidelines.
*They should clearly state what is expected of
authors and what the editor will do in cases of
suspected misconduct such as plagiarism or
data fabrication.
6. *
*Editors should work with the journal
publisher/editorial office to agree processes
for handling submissions that are the most
efficient and appropriate for the journal
7. *
*Editors should not be able to publish in their
own journal, but they must not exploit their
position.
*The journal must have a procedure for handling
submissions from the editor or members of the
editorial board that ensures that peer review is
handled independently of the author/editor.
9. *
*Editors may artificially increase their journal’s IF by
*(1) Coercive citation: facilitating or even
demanding self-citation
*(2) increasing editorials with citations,
*(3) limiting the total number of articles and/or the
number of original papers and increasing the
number of review and/or technical articles that are
more likely to be
*(4) prerelease or timing of publication early during
a year thus allowing more time for citation for a
given year

*The World Journal of Gastroenterology
*In 2000, the journal received its first impact
factor, 0.993.
*The next year, in 2001, it increased to 1.445.
*In 2002, It increased again to 2.532 and
*In 2003 to 3.318.
11. *
*96% of citations contributing to Cereal
Research Communications‘ impact factor in
2007 were self-citations.
12. *
*The IF Algorithm
The number of times items published in Nature during
2006-2007 were cited in journals during 2008
divided by
____________________________________________
The number of ‘citable’ articles published in Nature in 2006 and
2007 (substantive items, primary research articles, reviews)
= a journal publishing lots of ‘non-citable’ items can achieve a
higher IF than journals that predominantly publish ‘citable’
items
= More Editorials!
13. *
*Editorials
*Exempt from peer review
*an editor is able to cite many articles from
one’s own journal and have it published quickly
and without delay.
14. *
*“The NHJ 2012 in retrospect: which articles are
cited most?” by E.E. Van der Wall, editor of the
Netherlands Heart Journal.
*Published in December 2012, the brief editorial
contains 25 self-citations to the NHJ, 24 of
which cite articles written between 2010 and
2011 — the window from which the journal’s
next impact factor will be calculated.
15. *
*Some editors used their journal as a
personal vehicle for dissemination and
promotion of their own work
*December 2008 issue of Chaos, Solitons &
Fractals, Five of the articles are written by
the editor, Mohamed El Naschie.
*In 2008, he wrote 60 papers in the journal.
*He has written nearly 300 articles in the
journal since its inception.
16. *
*Of the 31 papers not written by El Naschie in
the an issue of Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, at
least 11 are related to his theories and include
58 citations of his work in the journal.

* The International Journal of Nonlinear Science and Numerical
Simulation (IJNSNS), founded in 2000 by Ji Huan-He.
* In 2008 IJNSNS had an impact factor of 8.91
* Ji-Huan He, the founder and editor-in-chief of IJNSNS, is also
an editor of another journal Chaos Solitons and Fractals
(CSF).
* Both He and El Naschie publish a lot, not only in their own
journals but also in each other’s, and they cite each other
frequently.
* The top-citing author to IJNSNS in 2008 was the journal’s own
editor-in-chief, Ji-Huan He, who cited the journal 243 times.
* The three editors of the journal account for 29% of the
citations counted toward the impact factor.
18. *
*Editorial feedback to corresponding authors to
include self-citations
*Citation coercion has been experienced by about
20% of academic authors, and younger faculty are
more likely to succumb when editors or publishers
“request” more journal citations.
*While the vast majority of respondents (86%)
viewed citation coercion as inappropriate behavior,
more than half (57%) indicated that they would
consent to the request.
19. *
*Becoming editor or guest editor of a journal
*“you cite my article only once in your 40
references. Consequently, I kindly ask you to
add references of my articles to your present
article”.
