Wow, Carolyn! I must have had my head in the sand. I wasn’t even aware this misuse of tags went on. People will try everything to get an advantage I guess. That is low though. It is a good idea for editors to monitor the tags used before they approve articles in their publications, and for readers to take note of the tags used …querying the author, removing claps etc. thank you for opening my yes, and for raising awareness.
