"Suspected #papermill articles…cited – and were cited by – other suspected paper mill articles and appeared in journals previously reported as paper mill targets. The resulting citations from suspected paper mill articles measurably inflated journal citation metrics."

1 dead and 9 missing after chemical tank implosion at Washington mill

Authorities have confirmed that one person died and 9 others were unaccounted for after a chemical tank imploded at a pulp and paper mill in Washington state. Nine others were injured in the spill, some severely. Emergency responders were still working on recovery efforts at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. in Longview, but hours after the implosion, some liquid remained in the collapsed tank, complicating efforts to reach victims, the Longview Fire Department said. Authorities said some victims had suffered burns or inhalation injuries. There was no immediate threat to the public.
