Abstract
On January 2, 2018 coercive citations, imaginary authors and citation padding were brought to my attention with a Happy new year by Nature Briefing citing the PLoS ONE paper where padded citations are described as rampant in academia quoting a survey of more than 12,000 researchers, one in five reporting that editors tried to coerce them into adding citations to their papers to increase journals’ impact factor.
