Talk:High-pressure torsion

Latest comment: 1 month ago by Ldm1954 in topic Restoring source with multiple authors.

Ref 3 has an absurd number of authors. I suggest the list be shortened to A.B et.al. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:50, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

On second thoughts I think that Ref #3 should be removed altogether until there is evidence that the journal is one in good standing, that all 30 authors from different institutions have given their consent for their names to be included as authors in the reference and that those persons even exist. Until that is done the article should be declined. Are IPs allowed to create articles? See Research paper mill. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC).Reply
To clarify, it is a genuine journal in good standing. This is one of those "let's get together and do a concensus review" papers. Legit. Ldm1954 (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment: This article cited too few sources. Especially concerning is the fact that it lacks citations for the modern aspects of the topic when such citations are easily found (like http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pmatsci.2008.03.002). Also, it would be nice if you could add images depicting how this process works. Pygos (talk) 05:02, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment. This article has been resubmitted on 15 September 2024. I think it should be declined again as the sources are inadequate. Ref 4 looks as if it has been generated by a research paper mill. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:03, 16 September 2024 (UTC).Reply
  • Comment: I agree with the comments that this article should be improved with an image or two, more material and more citations. However, the approach is highly cited and continues to be so. There is therefore no question of notability. I am going to accept it, but then tag it as needing expansion. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:50, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Restoring source with multiple authors.

edit

I have reverted deletion of a reference with multiple authors. It is completely valid, the Journal of Alloys and Compounds is well established in metallurgy and materials science. It was previously the Journal of Less Common Metals and dates back to 1958. Invited reviews of a field like this are not uncommon; they are an alternative to special issues. I actually read the article in question, and there is nothing wrong with it; the topic is on the edge of my expertise as a grey haired materials scientist.
