Nowadays, I have seen many researchers are involved in increasing their citation count. They are using various inappropriate approaches for that. However, in last they have a good number of citations. My question starts now:
Organizations judge the profile on several factors among them one is a citation. Is it really good to have a high citation count? If one person fairly wants to do research, then for him citation count will be less (because he is not doing any fraudulent activity) and his profile will be judged lower than the cheater. Here, we are talking about only citation count, therefore please don't involve other performance measure components like quality research papers and others.
Please share your views.
False citation is a definite lack of intellectual integrity with regards to the author. I believe a high citation count shows how many people have interacted and used your work. It can indicate how much impact your study is having, which I believe is an encouragement for every researcher. It can indicate that you have made some contribution and the purpose of research is to ‘try to push the frontier of knowledge’
nope, Fales citation may interrupt your relevant data which later on lead to the cancellation of the paper during evaluation.
False citation is linked to intellectual and moral integrity o a scholar.
