I have to confess I found the BMJ article on citation distortion
interesting... but heavy going!
The BMJ podcast interview with the author (Steven Greenberg) is a great
explanation of his research:

Hello All,
Many of you would have read this article by now, for those who have not
I wished to share this article. This brilliant piece of research was
published in this week's BMJ. The web version is much detailed and makes
the case of how inappropriate citations can prepetuate unsubstantiated
scientific citation.
