Unfortunately, that paper is pay-walled by springer.com.
On the bright side, the author of that paper, Kenneth H. Hicks, has provided three different explanations of pentaquarks here:

They are a bit dated due to the news today, but they're helpful.

#9people at cern have forgotten long ago:
“Scientists study the world as it is, engineers create the world that never has been.” – Theodore von Kármán
Gell Mann and Zweig among others proposed the imaginary concept of quarks (or partons, Feynman's Dolly) to do something about all those particles that kept popping up in accelerators. There was a time, when a particle was a run-of-the-mill cookie-cutter thesis.

The Dangers of Self-Reference
Public relations pioneer Edward Bernays refined the creation and use of press releases.
Propaganda was used by the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and others to rally for domestic support and demonize enemies during the World Wars, which led to more sophisticated commercial publicity efforts as public relations talent entered the private sector. Most historians believe public relations became established first in the US by Ivy Lee or Edward Bernays (he felt this manipulation was necessary in society), then spread internationally. Many American companies with PR departments spread the practice to Europe when they created European subsidiaries as a result of the Marshall plan.
