Scientific authors from Asian countries:

China, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, India

Authors from Asian countries is a vulnerable target for Editor to coerce citation.

Journal editors can strategically target younger professors from Asian countries.

The editor forces authors to add unnecessary citations to an article before the journal will agree to publish it.

The editor knows that the authors need to get their papers published and therefore more than willing to add any unnecessary citations

A case study IEEE OSA Journal of Display Technology Journal

Published 2 special issues on Recent advances in solid state lighting.

Guest Editor is Nelson Tansu, a well known professor for alleged self citation.

Special Issue IEEE OSA Journal of Display Technology Volume 9,

Issue 4 (April 2013).

Surface-Roughened Light-Emitting Diodes: An Accurate Model David, A. 0 citations to Tansu

All papers have 6-19 citations to Tansu, and noticed all the authors are from Asia (China, Taiwan, S.Korea, India and Singapore)

Tansu gain more than 270 citations from 2 Special issues

Papers from USA have no citation to Tansu.

Why?

Journal editors strategically target authors from Asian countries, rather than full professors from USA

The fact that lower ranking authors may be more willing to add the unnecessary citations.

Conclusions Coercive citation has been found for authors from

Asian countries (China, Taiwan, Singapore,South Korea, india) who are more than willing to cite the editor's paper so their paper can be published easily.
