On writing critical review: is there any threat? During my research on a specific topic, I found two interesting papers by same authors. So, I decided to implement their proposed idea but it was not possible. At first, I thought that I was wrong but after thorough exploration of the papers and reading other papers in the field, I found many mistakes and errors within those papers. 

For examples, some of the standard and common rules were presented mistakenly. Since the papers published in highly-esteemed journals, it should be considered as a real drawback. Frankly saying, I take it as some type of betraying to the science and research community.

It seems that either they did not have adequate knowledge to write such a paper or they intentionally added some noise (!) to the paper to make the simulation by others impossible. 
So, me and my supervisor have decided to write a critical review for those papers. However, I'm afraid of the consequences. 

Can this be a possible scenario that the authors - specifically the somewhat famous ones - affect my future researches, for example trying to reject my papers through their relationships with other editors and researchers, i.e. blacklisting me.
Have you tried talking to the authors directly?

Reach out to the authors before you publish.  Don't phrase it as a criticism.  Try something like.


  I'm confused by how your paper used X, Y, and Z.  The normal interpretation is W.
