Classic Definition: Scientific research depends on the referencing and citing of other research.
Modern Circumstance: The Google Scholar Paradox is that research which gets cited most often is whatever shows up in the top results of Google Scholar searches; regardless of its contribution to the field.
Paradox Example: The Google Scholar effect is a phenomenon when some medical and healthcare researchers pick and cite works appearing in the top results on Google Scholar regardless of their contribution to the citing publication.
Paradoxically they automatically assume these works’ credibility and believe that editors, reviewers, and readers expect to see these citations.
