The claim is a matter of elementary physics definitions regarding unit systems and requires no citation.
The claim states a fundamental fact about the formulation of Coulomb's law across different unit systems (SI vs. CGS, such as electrostatic units where the permittivity factor or dimensional constants differ). This is standard textbook physics known by definition, rendering the claim common knowledge. None of the retrieved papers specifically test or focus on this educational truism, and attaching papers to it is unnecessary.
