As result these documents, number citations received our research group was boosted, affecting profile 47 researchers 52 journals ([ 1 ][2]). The main problem is that rely automatic indexing, retrieving any document an academic domain. controlled environment which scientific knowledge reasonably well review journal selection processes has shifted toward open we trust each individual researcher's conscience. The pressure felt editors authors perform according indicators fueled national evaluation agencies already led some artificially boost their 2 ][3]).
