A growing nexus is being seen among researchers all across the world, whereby researchers pretend to work together as a group, but factually these researchers work either individually or at most with couple of their close associates. And the moment research article is done they give credit to each other in entire group for the work done by a few. The sole aim of this kind of research nexus is to inflate individual research output in short span of time and to showcase their research prowess by citing each others work. Such kind of nexus mostly exists in science subjects.
