Who reviewed this paper?

A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: https://t.co/FpSr5QLPfW. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny.

Since reading that tweet, we have not been able to get it out of our head, so we thught that we would document it in a little more detail. We are doing this for three reasons.

1️⃣ In our view, it descerves more detail to be made available.

2️⃣ We'd like these details to be be kept as a matter of public record, so we are posting similar posts on our X account and our LinkedIn account.

3️⃣ It should be of interest to this community, so we hope that this raises even further the ethical issues around this topic.

The first image shows the paper that we are looking at. What is interesting is the text that appears on at the end of the introduction (highlighted in red). This appears to show that the reviewer insisted that a set of 13 papers be cited, else they would not accept the paper. It would be interesting to see the review repport, so that we could be certain what had been said. If you want to see the paper, it is available here: https://t.co/mlv5UDdp5T

In the rest of this 🧵, we show the papers that have been asked to be cited (i.e. [35]-[47]). These have been taken from the paper mentioned above. You'll notice (as we have highlighted it) that every paper is "et al." meaning, of course, that there are quite a few authors on each paper.

Gicven that we cannot see all the authors, the other images on this 🧵 shows the full set of authors on each of these 13 papers.

We leave it an an exercise for the reader to hazard a guess as to the reviewr is?

My entire life changed when I realized that preparation always beats planning.

Planning is based on the expectation of order. Preparation is based on the expectation of chaos.

Plan for order and you'll be destroyed by chaos. Prepare for chaos and you'll thrive in any condition.

I’ve had a few hundred trick-or-treaters look through this monster telescope and see the rings of Saturn with their own eyes tonight. Hopefully I’m spreading the love of space to the next generation of astronauts 🤓

Don’t worry, I gave them candy too!

@AngelaEWeiler When I was little I thought you were ‘from’ somewhere if your parents lived there before you were born. My mom was a military brat and I had a very interesting answer (from another Very White Child) when school asked that question one day.

I just found out that Bill Watterson (the genius behind Calvin and Hobbes) gave a commencement speech in 1990 and it's incredible

@combatmeatball TJ's also has some great canned meals like eggplant in tomato sauce, giant spiced cannelini beans, and stuffed grape leaves. Straight out of the can with crackers and crunchy veggies is an excellent treat if you can manage. (If I remember correctly they're even flip top cans)

@combatmeatball I used Trader Joes shelf-stable microwave meals a lot when I was deployed. They have little foil pouches of different things, mostly Indian like kitchari, veggie korma, etc. You can eat them cold out of the bag or makeshift warm them in hot water if you have access.

Instead of nightclubs I want a 24hr library with hot chocolate stations, a dessert bar, coffee machine, big comfy chairs and beanbags, blankets, dogs welcome, just people who want to spend the evening reading alone, together, peaceful, a cosy fire, plants, an indoor waterfall.
