Third Editor Fired in Elsevier's Citation Cartel Crackdown; Hundreds of Papers At Risk of Retraction

"This is not a series of coincidences; it is a blatant, industrial-scale quid pro quo."

Third Editor Fired in Elsevier's Citation Cartel Crackdown; Hundreds of Papers At Risk of Retraction

"This is not a series of coincidences; it is a blatant, industrial-scale quid pro quo."

Some weeks ago I accepted a review request from a prestige journal (in a small field). I found the abstract interesting, but had hesitations due to poor experience with editorial process as an author with this journal, and since it was an El$evier journal (which I try to avoid doing free work for).

Now the deadline review is approaching, and the study was less interesting than assumed, has no data available, poor transparency, typos that should have been weeded out in the review process, and I'm regretting my decision. I will fortify my review policy for the future!

Wikipedia Library's ScienceDirect subscription doesn't seem to include
Endocrine Practice and I haven't been able to find this article any other way so I would really appreciate if anyone who has access to #ScienceDirect or #Elsevier journals or whatever would include this could see if they can get me a copy of this, because it's actually huge to have a Real Study™ confirming this and I need to see it:

A. L. Misakian, D. Ariel, E. A. Sullivan, et al.,
"Injectable Estradiol Monotherapy Effectively Suppresses Testosterone in Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy", Endocrine Practice 31, no. 11: P1462–69, doi:10.1016/j.eprac.2025.07.002

many thanks in advance
