摘要：
The unreal growth of some universities in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings is questioned. We show that the universities and individuals can exploit a weakness of ranking tables by engaging in excessive self-citations. The genuine efforts by the academic community to work towards high-quality research are put to shame, and unethical conduct and behaviour become acceptable. The credibility of global university ranking tables is under question.
