All these "publications" are bogus, and refer to a bogus publication of a fictional scholar called Alfonse Shyster, in a fictional journal titled South Australian Yak Breeders' Gazette. The Queensland Yak Breeders' Gazette is also fictional. That is, I hope they are. :-)

This is an investigation of potential weaknesses in automatic citation index construction on the web. Such index constructors seem unlikely to be able to validate the data that they are operating on. If such weaknesses are found, this will not diminish the usefulness of such indices for searching for work related to known work of a particular scholar, but it will cast doubt on the validity of trying to measure the research impact of scholars by using such indices.

I acknowledge that there are indices available that attempt at least partial validation of data.
