Several months hence I bent your ears about "citation stacking," this being a practice both seemingly weird in itself and apparently odd for me to get exercised about. It refers to the various means to encourage bibliographic references to a specific journal (or group of journals or body of work) with the aim of inflating the "numbers." For a researcher, these numbers are the citation count or h-index: a researcher with h=24, say, has authored 24 works each cited 24 or more times. And for a publication, the number is the impact factor (IF), the average number of times each published article is cited over a rolling period, usually two years. Both numbers are often (yes, too often) a proxy for quality. Bigger is better.
