Reese Richardson tells the story of creating a scientific account of her grandfather's cat: "First, we generated 12 papers (using Mathgen) with Larry Richardson as the sole author. We then generated an additional 12 papers not authored by Larry, editing the LaTeX document of each paper so that each cited every one of Larry’s 12 papers (12 papers with 12 citations each = 144 citations with an h-index of 12).

Next, we uploaded the papers to ResearchGate, all under the same profile. We then had to wait for Google Scholar to scrape and index these papers and their citations. Given that Google Scholar is known for indexing just about anything as an academic paper (up to and including school cafeteria menus), we had few initial doubts that the papers would be indexed shortly. Now Larry Richardson is officially history’s highest cited cat (according to Google Scholar, at least)."
