JSTOR is just a big search engine, and they are all the assholes who hounded Aaron Swartz co-founder of Reddit, and lead to his suicide. Aaron was reposting articles created based on taxpayer funded research.
The paper you linked is from the major publishing company Sage, who's been battling fake peer reviews and just retracted many articles. So don't take everything on that site as gospel. The scientific paper community has been ripe with fake peer reviewing as a giant scandal since 2015.

Let's look at that article shall we? I've edited this about four times now, primarily because clarity issues. Or things that I learned that changed how I look at the article.
Here's the problems I have with your source.
First
in the opinion section. That's red flag one.
Second red flag, Thomas Lifson own's American thinker, (and infact is re hosting his article) It's a conflict of interest, since the owner should not be the writer, due to, surprise, bias.
I've already checked. Retraction watch is legit, it's lead by actual scientists. and with a name.
So this is a real problem then right?
right?
Let's look at that link for their source "another case"
https://retractionwatch.com/2014/07...review-and-citation-ring-60-papers-retracted/
Notice the date... 2014.
We suddenly jumped 8 years backwards.
huh. Strange. It lists on "journal of vibration and control" not JSOR. But wait there's more.
Let's look at the updated post, which is strange, why would the article not use the most updated information?
Oh. So in other words. Not affecting the JSOR at all. (it's in one specific publication website)
Strange. It's almost like the article you linked, intentionally puts things out of context, and tries to appear legitimate.
The smoking gun that proves it?
later on the page it links with "continue to be cited"
What is it?

Oh so covid vaccine research right?
haha
Nope it's about hydroxychloroquine.
But that's the thing. What's the most popular article(s) on Life News?
HMMMMMMMMMMMM. I wonder if this entire article, is designed to mislead?
Let's take a look at massive, can't do things out of order can we?
Huh
So let me get this straight.
The article you linked is from a place I've never heard of.
The article you linked intentionally makes it so old news sounds like new.
ANNNND fails to state exactly what was the set of articles that where bad were published.
ANNNNND in a sister website, the most popular articles, conflict with the actual fucking sources on the matter from the same article, but intentionally designed to sound as if it supports those headlines.
Your source is bogus. Because it's misconstruing the sources whenever it possibly can to fit a narrative. They didn't state what specific journal was the bad actor. They just left it nondescript.
