4) How it works
----------------------------------------------------------------
- It is very clear that they engage in predatory / coercive / fake citations for what is at a great extent poor work. The citations of their work are NOT dispersed - they are generated by the Elsevier ecosystem (swamp)
- While these journals are not serious - still it is clear that there are revolving doors & No serious referring - just friends helping each other. An Elsevier ecosystem !
There has to be an independent investigation for how they handle their own submissions.
