Crazy story. King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia is apparently paying highly cited, influential scientists to add King Abdulaziz University as a secondary affiliation on their publications. This manipulates global university rankings by making it falsely appear that KAU has lots of heavy hitters on their faculty. Regardless of the motivation of KAU in hiring adjunct highly cited foreign faculty, it seems highly inappropriate for a faculty member to list an affiliation on a paper to an institution to which they have no scientific connection whatsoever. liorpachter.wordpress/2014/10/31/to-some-a-citation-is-worth-3-per-year/
