Sounds like a desperate attempt to get more people citing you.
Someone wants to raise their Hirsch index, is all.
A friend of mine had a reviewer suggest 5 references to include. All 5 had one author in common. 🤔
Yeah this is a primary source paper it doesn’t need much references other than backing up assumptions used in calculations.
The paper has at least 34 other sources it is citing.
