Ghost Citing

Ghost citing is the act of attributing a statement or fact you made to another author in order to give it more academic weight. Usually done by attaching a citation that leads to a random page in a well respected academic journal in the field.

This method was developed and perfected by Canadian Rene M. Hradecky

CAUTION: Should only be used once or twice every 50 citations.
A+ paper: "The Tutsi cockroaches have collaborated with the Belgians for too long - Justice is long overdue. Cut the tall trees now, and rid Rwanda of the Tutsi imperialists yelled Hutu rights activist Jean Kambanda"

Nerd: Wtf! Where did you get that information?

Rene: Why the Journal of East African studies, of course!

Nerd: Are you ghost citing against? Don't make me call the African Institute of Human Rights again.
