Citation cartel explained

A citation cartel is a group of academic authors who collude to egregiously cite one another's publications in order to increase their citation counts.

Alleged citation cartels have been found in numerous academic fields,[1] including mathematics,[2] medicine and dentistry.[3] Possible citation cartels can be detected by network analysis of the citation graph.[4]
