Citation bias in published papers

[QUOTE="Astronuc, post: 6638501, member: 15685"] It was not what I thought it would be, but I do observe such bias in papers/journals I read, and it is only part of the problem. Researchers find citation bias in published papers and evidence that the problem is getting worse [URL]https://phys.org/news/2022-06-citation-bias-published-papers-evidence.html[/URL] When I first saw the article, but had not yet read it, the first thing that came to mind is authors who cite their own papers/works, and I've worked with older colleagues who did that persistently. With regard to the Phys.org article, I've noticed papers from authors in various nations citing articles of the national peers, although not exclusively. When I wrote reports, for clients in US, Europe and Asia, I often had a good balance of papers from US (and the Americas), Europe and Asia, if relevant work was available. Another issue I have with some scientific literature is the same paper, or similar papers, describing the same work, in multiple journals, and sometimes the names of the same authors are rearranged. I've reviewed papers and rejected some that I have found redundant with previous publications, for that reason, and in some cases, where the paper is flawed, and the original should not have been published.
