Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. See WP:REFSPAM. DMacks (talk) 20:18, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The citation added is not promotional material. It is a study showing that electrode implants cause gliosis and attest a drop of neural signal following implants. This study has 88 citations on Scopus and 116 on Google Scholar. It is an academic-scientific citation, respecting the normatives of Wikipedia. Cajal11 (talk) 20:28, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia considers repeated citations to the same authors to be promotional. MrOllie (talk) 20:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MrOllie, my greetings. Thank you for your message. I'm not affiliated with Nicolelis group (I don't even work in the field of BMI). This researcher is one of the most important in the field, so his studies are commonly cited on Wikipedia. But if his citations represents violation, sorry about that.

Hello, Cajal11. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.

Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add {{Edit COI}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.
