The webpage of the journal [1] only says 109 citations of the original article, this count only "indexed" journals, that are not guaranty to be ultra high quality but at least filter the worse "pay us to publish crap" journals.

ResearchGate says 3936 citations. I'm not sure what they are counting, probably all the pdf uploaded to ResearchGate

I'm not sure how they count 6000 citations, but I guess they are counting everything, including quotes by the vicepresident. Probably 6001 after my comment.

Quoted in the article:

>> 1. Journals should disclose comments, complaints, corrections, and retraction requests. Universities should report research integrity complaints and outcomes.

All comments, complaints, corrections, and retraction requests? Unmoderated? Einstein articles will be full of comments explaining why he is wrong, from racist to people that can spell Minkowski to save their lives. In /newest there is like one post per week from someone that discover a new physics theory with the help of ChatGPT. Sometimes it's the same guy, sometimes it's a new one.

The number appears to be from Google Scholar, which currently reports 6269 citations for the paper

Judging from PubPeer, which allows people to post all of the above anonymously and with minimal moderation, this is not an issue in practice.

It has 0 comments, for an article that forgot "not" in "the result is *** statistical significative".

Isn't a lack of comments the opposite of the problem you were previously claiming?

They mentioned a famous work, which will naturally attract cranks to comment on it. I’d also expect to get weird comments on works with high political relevance.
