When you think you have seen all possible variants of rather questionable scientific integrity and forms of ethical misconduct after reading this blog and others for years, someone will appear out of nowhere to surprise you: Zhanhu Guo, who is currently Professor of Mechanical & Construction Engineering at Northumbria University Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK (although Web of Science still lists his old affiliation in USA). According to Google Scholar, he has been cited a whopping 105.586 times (as of April 3rd 2025).

Just ordinary Capitalist incentives taking priority again. There are unfortunately monetary scams on all levels of Science, and it is breaking Science. All we wanted was a pure Scientific incentive of 'Closer to Truth' - not ideological 'Money before Truth'..
