Whether or not to cite a paper has absolutely nothing to do with where that paper is published. — what do they do? — They read a lot of papers and chase a lot of references (both forward and backward). | |

Won't this at least occasionally inflate bad journals that overshadow good ones? Let's suppose one of the people you trust and imitate answers this question; what do they do? | |
