User talk:Ricber1

Hello, Ricber1. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to research published by a small group of researchers.

Scientific articles should mainly reference review articles to ensure that the information added is trusted by the scientific community.

Editing in this way is also a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest in Wikipedia – please see WP:SELFCITE and WP:MEDCOI. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM) and the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

Finally, please be aware that the editing community highly values expert contributors – please see WP:EXPERT. I do hope you will consider contributing more broadly. If you wish to contribute, please first consider citing review articles written by other researchers in your field and which are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite your own research, please start a new thread on the article talk page and add requestedit to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

Dear SmartSE, can you explain why you deleted my modifications to the Digital agriculture page's lead section with reference to a review article targeted to the page scope? Can you elaborate on why my modifications worsen the page quality rather than improve it? The change improves the quality of the lead section by introducing evidence from an in-depth literature review article (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9547306) published in a relevant journal (IEEE Access; H-index: 127; Five-year Journal Impact Factor: 3.671). The previous lead section was reporting website articles as primary references. The review article exploits bibliometric tools (statistics analysis) to remove researchers' biases that can afflict traditional literature reviews. The main purpose of the article is to give a definition and context to the concept of Digital Agriculture. Being based on bibliometric tools, the article is structured to take into account and summarize the main research streams in the field of Digital Agriculture. The review article's aim is to answer to three specific research questions: i) what is the spectrum of the digital agricultural revolution (DAR)-related terminology?; ii) what are the key articles and the most influential journals, institutions, and countries?; iii) what are the main research streams and the emerging topics? The review article contains 88 high-impact articles based on citation counts. Could you please objectively re-evaluate my proposed modifications? Ricber1 (talk) 19:26, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
