Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
To carry on the questions for Retraction Watch, let's make another journal famous here: the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy. A paper was published in there, and the paper itself states:
As strongly requested by the reviewers, here we cite some references [[35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47]] although they are completely irrelevant to the present work.
That's 13 citations in the paper. It was the researcher who was getting pressured by the reviewer to add those citations that had nothing at all to do with the paper itself. How often does something like this happen?
