Never thought about that, but I guess you could easily create circular reasoning with two or more publications citing each other?
Why do it with two? The Daily Wire cites their own stories all the time as evidence something is happening.
Not necessarily, however, I’ve been down a shocking number of citation threads where the thing being ciit d actually never exists.
It’s like 2-3 publications deep and thread ends at “unpublished data/ results” or, like it’s just a lie and they never did the thing the author 2-3 orders removed is claiming they did. Or something’s it’s an unfounded conclusion or assertion made in the discussion.
