A report by leading bibliometric experts reveals systematic manipulation of curriculum and citations by the rector of the University of Salamanca, particularly after a lost election.
The report highlights that Corchado's citation counts inflated dramatically after his electoral defeat, rising from 4,750 in 2017 to 44,000 by March 2024, raising serious ethical concerns.
Delgado and Martin criticize the organizational structure of publications and citations that Corchado’s group developed, indicating a troubling trend in academic publishing that compromises integrity.
Corchado's yearly mega-congress on computing generated substantial revenue while serving as a mechanism to enhance his citation metrics and reputation, raising alarms over academic fraud.
