"The post caught the attention of several sleuths who are now the authors of the JASIST article. We used a scientific search engine to look for articles citing the initial article. Google Scholar found none, but Crossref and Dimensions did find references. The difference? Google Scholar is likely to mostly rely on the article's main text to extract the references appearing in the bibliography section, whereas Crossref and Dimensions use metadata provided by publishers."

So Google Scholar uses the text which is good. Then obvious solution is to go and look up where it has been cited, which would be easy to do with google scholar.

I don't know why anyone would jeopardize their career like this.

This looks like someone on the editorial side snuck the references in. Don't think authors have a way to do it.

Great plan. Nobody has _ever_ worked out ways to game Google's search algorithms!
