2020 is coming to a close, finally! And it's been a year at Engineering Archive.
scheduling question, WhenIsGood
Dear users of WhenIsGood: When you fill one of those out, are you filling out the limits of your availability to include the duration of the meeting or the limits of your availability for the meeting start time?
For example, if 3pm is a slot on the poll for a 1 hour meeting and I have a conflict at 3:30, do I select 3pm because my availability goes up until 3p or not because a meeting that starts at 3p wouldn't work?

@jaranta @bgcarlisle @vickysteeves I came across it because the person submitted a preprint to my server citing his own work several dozen times. Digging in a little further, it looked like a combination of using preprints and just a large group of people citing each other. Many in journal published works.

@bgcarlisle @vickysteeves my favorite part was that if you looked into some of the papers you'd find one from like 2015 which had maybe a small handful of citations per year until 2020 when it was suddenly cited 60 times. That would be a rock star level of being 'discovered'.

@bgcarlisle @vickysteeves basically someone with around 100-150 citations per years for 2016-2019, then 950 citations so far in 2020.

@bgcarlisle
I did call him out on it so maybe he deleted?

In case you are wondering what it looks like when someone decides to engage in citation gaming.

@Cyborgneticz but... did you send it?
Maybe I'll work on some stuff for @engrxiv. Can't be furloughed from work you don't get paid for!
