I used to like the "Recommended articles" function in Scholar. It recommends you articles based on the citations you received (you can access them below the scholar search bar, and receive them as updates by email).
The problem is, recently I've been cited in a spam article: a paper on musicology written by a bot with loads of random references, one of which is a paper of mine (and I'm no musicologist). Since this happened, my "Recommended articles" section in Scholar only contains spam articles in musicology. Any tips on how to get rid of these spam recommendations?
what kind of terrible person you are if you don't enjoy being spam-cited by musicologists?

Google Scholar is being used by rsearchers around the world. The site is updated by a team of employees and there could human error. References with creditable and reliable publishers should be chosen for publication.
A very much needed question. I would like to wait for an appropriate answer.
You must check ISSN and DOI reference of the publication and if both are cited then it should be geniune and not spam
Machine learning based filters are able to adapt themselves to the changing nature and behavior patterns of the spammers. As spammers always tend to introduce subtle changes and design new ways of spreading spam emails as widely as possible, this is a critical advantage. Static filters, which are not able to detect these subtle changes, eventually fail against even a slightly modified spam patterns.
