Brazilian citation scheme outed

"Mauricio Rocha-e-Silva thought that he had spotted an easy way to raise the profiles of Brazilian journals.

I think in this scheme there are two problem: the "Jeitinho Brasileiro"* and CAPES policy.



* "The word jeitinho (pronounced zhay-cheen-yo) is a commonly used expression in Portuguese that describes the Brazilian knack for finding a way over an obstacle, around a problem, or out of a jam. " ...

"Brazilians use the jeitinho to get what they want, ..."

O novo Megaupload

"seu grande diferencial em relação ao Megaupload é o sistema de criptografia. O recurso ‘tranca’ os dados que o usuário armazena no serviço. Desse modo, só o próprio usuário terá uma chave para abri-lo. Dotcom, portanto, pode dizer que não consegue saber se o arquivo armazenado é um vídeo com conteúdo protegido ou uma música com copyright."
