Big John Triceratops died from battle injury

[DPS Ammonite]

Here is a paper about the privately owned Triceratops Big John. He probably died from battle injuries. 
 

This is noteworthy for being a scientific article published on a privately owned fossil. A professional can let us know if the authors did a good job and if the publication is respected by paleontologists. I have never heard of Scientific Reports.
