RE: What I learnt LAST week 24: Evolution Nuance, Asexual Fish Diversity, Microbial Memories, Space Microbes & Citation Padding Crisis

in #science7 years ago (edited)

First time am hearing of citation padding.

I was wondering why there were always so many at the end of every paper I read

Same here
Saw it in two journals i was reading and was like why all this. Guess i know why and what it means.
Thanks for sharing though

Pretty disgusting eh? But at the same time, if we funded science as much as it deserved, people wouldn't feel the need to do so...
