By following the recently published paper in Science titled "Coercive Citation in Academic Publishing", in this paper, we aim to discuss the demand of some journals that request authors to cite recently published papers in that journal to increase the impact factor of that journal. It will be mentioned that some of these demands are not ethical and consequently will diminish the reputation of the journal.
通过参考最近发表在《科学》杂志上题为《学术出版中的强制引用》的论文，在本文中，我们旨在讨论一些期刊要求作者引用该期刊近期发表的论文以提高该期刊影响因子的要求。需要指出的是，其中一些要求是不道德的，因此会损害该期刊的声誉。
