Abstract

Self citation in scientific literature: A reviewer’s perspective

Abstract

reference list of papers contains numerous citations of one specific author and lacking relevant papers of other researchers, the author will be easily recognizable even in a double blinded review. More numbers of non relevant self citations also reflects a self centred nature of authors. This practice may earn a bad academic reputation and more likelihood of the rejection of submitted manuscripts. Researchers may increase their total citation rates by means of self citations but it is not possible to attain high citation rates based only on self citation2. Self citation is not good and bad by itself but it should be used when it is strictly needed to show the continuation of the previous work with the present one
