Abnormal Citation Patterns on 10.1016/j.ceramint.2025.05.426
Abnormal citation patterns are observed on the article [1]. In the first sentence of this article's Introduction section, "The fuel cell research community has recently paid close attention to nanocomposite ceramic fuel cells [1-15]", 15 references were cited, 14 (93%) of them were coauthored by ZHU Bin. Although 9 of them were also coauthored by Rizwan Raza, one of the authors in this article [1], the other 5 were not coauthored by Raza. This raises concerns that those citations were intended to artificially inflate ZHU's citation metrics. The 5GH Team previously found that another article from Raza also massively cited ZHU's publications [2].
