Perhaps this is obvious to others, but could you articulate the ethical principle that this violates?
- cycomanic 2y agoWell I was trying to say that there are not clear cut don't do this or that, but instead act ethically. I would say citation stacking broadly falls under misrepresenting your research (as well as other research). The authors artifically inflate the impact of their research thus misrepresenting how important it is. It is widely viewed as misconduct e.g. see these guidelines from T&F (most other journals would have something similar) https://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/editorial-policies/misconduct/ https://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/editorial-polici...
