Harzing’s article employs the use of this tactic by utilizing the following words that relate to citations and expatriate failures: “empty references” (130), “EFR figures” (132), and “Chinese whispers” (141). For instance, Harzing makes sure to define these terms for the reader after stating them: “Empty references are references that do not contain any original evidence for the phenomena under investigation, but strictly refer to other studies to substantiate their claim” (Harzing 130).
