25 of the first paper's references are to other papers the author has written. No matter what field a paper is in, having 19% of the references point to yourself is suspicious. For the other references, the high amount of citations from folks as general as Aristotle and Kolmogorov make doubly sure that the paper really doesn't pass the BS test of any researcher.
- gspr 5y agoThe second referee also noticed that. It's a fun read: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/13/6/849/review_report https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/13/6/849/review_report (report number 2) Most of the reports are quite critical (although I can't tell if referee 4 is being sarcastic or not). I don't understand how this paper got published.
