| Abstrakt: | Analysis of citation networks in biomedical research has indicated that belief in a specific scientific claim can gain unfounded authority through citation bias (systematic ignoring of papers that contain content conflicting with a claim), amplification (citation to papers that don't contain primary data), and invention (citing content but claiming it has a different meaning). There is no a priori reason to expect that citation distortion is limited to particular fields of science. This Pespective presents a case study of the literature on maximum iron loading of the ferritin protein to illustrate that the field of metallomics is no exception to the rule that citation distortion is a widespread phenomenon.
