Abnormal Citing Patterns on 10.1007/s10854-023-11600-6
Abnormal citing patterns are observed on the article [1], which cites a total number of 73 references, 4 of them were coauthored by the Trukhanov family. Although this number (4) is small of the total references (about 5%), however, those 4 references are irrelevant both to the topic of the article [1] and the citing statement. They were also heavily concentrated in Ref 8-10 and 21, suggesting potential of manipulation.
