Abstract
The 'citation stacking' practised by four Brazilian research journals (Nature 500, 510–511; 2013) may be a misguided attempt to compensate for the recognition problems faced by journals that do not publish in English. It is in the interest of international science for researchers and funding agencies, as well as journals, to overcome such linguistic barriers.
