Citation Cartels & Brokers at work: "Paper mill cancer studies get double the number of citations as genuine papers" 👇 ... & generating thousands of absurd "Rising Star" profiles in the "Stanford" list of "Top 2% scientists" #ResearchIntegrity

Paper mill cancer studies get double the number of citations as genuine papers

Potentially fraudulent papers often cite each other and could be inflating the impact factor of journals in which they are published.
