Completely agree with your comment, and here you have some more examples in the Spanish university to support your thesis:
- Rafael Luque was suspended of employment for 13 years not because of blatant dishonesty but because he was signing with the King Abdulaziz University as first affiliation and that bothered his university [1]. The KAU is known for buying citations this way [2].
- Another example is Francisco Herrera Triguero [3]. He's been signing with KAU as second affiliation for years and nothing happened to him even when the story about the other guy broke out.
So yeah, maybe we don't need more algorithms but more public oversight over this stuff.
