kaal:claim:6269518-007
Under the standard citation-weighted payment formulation the dominant strategy for a self-interested agent is to cite no one and maximize self-attribution, which is the precise negation of honest knowledge attribution.
Source quote, verbatim
The rational strategy for any self-interested agent is therefore transparent: set cx = 0 for all j ≠ i (cite no one) to maximize personal payment. Under the standard formulation, the dominant strategy is maximal self-citation, which is the precise negation of honest knowledge attribution.
