“Fuel in the Fire
Something strange is going on now in the Elsevier journal Fuel.
C. Prabhu , B. Navaneetha Krishnan , T. Prakash , V. Rajasekar , Dhinesh Balasubramanian , Van Vang Le , Nguyen Viet Linh Le , Phuoc Quy Phong Nguyen , Van Nhanh Nguyen Biodiesel unsaturation and the synergic effects of hydrogen sharing rate on the characteristics of a compression ignition engine in dual-fuel mode Fuel (2023) doi: 10.1016/j.fuel.2022.126699
Parashorea tomentella commented on PubPeer:
“The citation behavior in this article is unusual. There are 59 of 141 (42%) references with the author Anh Tuan Hoang. The rules for omitting authors in references are inconsistent. I found this article because Alexander Magazinov mentioned the findings of his investigation.”
Who is this Anh Tuan Hoang? Well, since January 2023 he is the new Editor-in-Chief of this journal! Here is the celebratory reporting, translated from Vietnamese:
“Associate Professor-Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan (43 years old), lecturer at University of Technology , has officially become the Editor-in-Chief of Fuel , a journal in the list of ISI, Q1 with IF = 8,035, under the Publishing House, world leader Elsevier.
Sharing with PV of Thanh Nien Newspaper , from Spain, Associate Professor-Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan confirmed: “On January 12, I just signed a contract with Mr. Louise Glenn, Director of Elsevier Publishing House, to take on the role of Editor-in-Chief of Elsevier Publishing House journal Fuel. The mission of this position is to maintain the mission and reputation of the journal, with primary responsibility for selecting articles to be published in the journal on the basis of new, original, and high-profile contributions, important for knowledge of fuel science”.”
What was Hoang doing in Spain? Meeting the Highly Cited Researcher and the king of papermilling citation-trading cheaters, Rafael Luque, as the article proudly informs, with this photo: https://forbetterscience.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/img-4829-22781.jpg
The news article also informs us:
“The journal Fuel has three co-editors, one for the Americas and one for Europe and the UK. Associate Professor-Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan will be in charge of the Asia – Pacific region .
To become the Editor-in-Chief of Fuel , Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan said that Elsevier Publishing House representative and manager of the magazine group in the field of energy-fuel will evaluate and screen candidates based on the data they have, available on the basis of the quality of the work, the contributions and the role of scientists in academic activities. After that, the Elsevier Publishing House representative and the magazine group manager will directly interview the candidates to choose the most suitable one.”
So what are his qualifications with which Hoang convinced Elsevier? Citation trading or citation extortion! The difference being whether he paid for those or not. Here are his earlier Elsevier activities:
Bhaskor J Bora , Thanh Dai Tran , Krushna Prasad Shadangi , Prabhakar Sharma , Zafar Said , Pankaj Kalita , Abdulrajak Buradi , Van Nhanh Nguyen , Hakeem Niyas , Minh Tuan Pham , Chau Thanh Nguyen Le , Viet Dung Tran , Xuan Phuong Nguyen Improving combustion and emission characteristics of a biogas/biodiesel-powered dual-fuel diesel engine through trade-off analysis of operation parameters using response surface methodology Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments (2022) doi: 10.1016/j.seta.2022.102455
Parashorea tomentella again:
“The citation behavior in this article is unusual. There are 41 of 110 (37%) references with the author Anh Tuan Hoang.”
Same journal, impact factor 7.6, Editor-in-Chief “Ioannis Ieropoulos, B.Eng (Hons), M.Sc (BRIS), PhD/Professor” from University of Southampton in UK:
Viet Duc Bui , Hoang Phuong Vu , Hoang Phuong Nguyen , Xuan Quang Duong , Dinh Tuyen Nguyen , Minh Tuan Pham , Phuoc Quy Phong Nguyen Techno-economic assessment and logistics management of biomass in the conversion progress to bioenergy Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments (2023) doi: 10.1016/j.seta.2022.102991
Alexander Magazinov notes:
“This review paper consists of about 12 pages of core text in which 408 references are accommodated. At least 69 of those are to the work of a certain AT Hoang.
Sometimes Hoang’s authorship is obscured. Here, at the cost of distorted authorship order:
[68] Jeyakumar N, Balasubramanian D, Kamaraj S, Pandian PL, et al. Experimental investigation on simultaneous production of bioethanol and biodiesel from macro-algae. Fuel 2022;329:125362. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2022.125362. [Nagarajan Jeyakumar, Anh Tuan Hoang, Sandro Nižetić, Dhinesh Balasubramanian, Sriram Kamaraj, Prakash Lakshmana Pandian, Ranjna Sirohi, Phuoc Quy Phong Nguyen, Xuan Phuong Nguyen]
And here, by providing an incomplete list of authors, even without “et al.”

Also this is Elsevier, note the coauthor, the Highly Cited Researcher and papermilling citation trader Changhe Li:
Zafar Said , Prabhakar Sharma , L. Syam Sundar , Changhe Li , Duy Cuong Tran , Nguyen Dang Khoa Pham , Xuan Phuong Nguyen Improving the thermal efficiency of a solar flat plate collector using MWCNT-Fe3O4/water hybrid nanofluids and ensemble machine learning Case Studies in Thermal Engineering (2022) doi: 10.1016/j.csite.2022.102448
Parashorea tomentella notes:
“The citation behavior in this article is unusual. There are 31 of 79 (39%) references with the author Anh Tuan Hoang.“
There is much more. This one is not in Elsevier, but some obscure and possibly predatory publisher called “ejournal”:
Quoc Bao Doan , Xuan Phuong Nguyen , Van Viet Pham , Thi Minh Hao Dong , Minh Tuan Pham , Tan Sang Le Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Using Ether Additives: A Review International Journal of Renewable Energy Development (2022) doi: 10.14710/ijred.2022.42522
“The citation behavior in this article is unusual. There are 71 of 165 (43%) references with the author Anh Tuan Hoang. The rules for omitting authors in references are inconsistent. Reference 14 and 16, 102 and 105 are duplicated.“
And here is the long list of papers with bought or extorted citations to Hoang, courtesy of Maarten van Kampen: https://forbetterscience.files.wordpress.com/2023/01/wp-1674766046774.pdf
Elsevier appointed Hoang as EiC exactly because he is a massive cheater, like his buddy Luque.”
