> Clear beneficiary is Alex V. Trukhanov, publishing around 50 papers per year since 2018. Notice in particular how he has 17,528 citations in only 5,601 citing papers: more than 3 citations to him in each citing paper, on average. This is a clear indication of either a giant and seminal figure in their field, or citation manipulation. https://x.com/Dr_5GH/status/1855306578293068005 https://x.com/Dr_5GH/status/1855306578293068005 https://pubpeer.com/publications/1924F147DE045B97261004EB2387AE#2 https://pubpeer.com/publications/1924F147DE045B97261004EB238...
