摘要: This study investigates self-citation rates of 222 Chinese journals within seven groups including 76 journals of agronomy (34.2 percent), 57 of biology (25.7 percent), 28 of environmental science and technology (12.6 percent), 15 of forestry (6.8 percent), 24 of academic journals of agricultural university (10.8 percent), 9 of aquatic sciences (4.1 percent), and 13 of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine (5.9 percent). The average self-citation rates range from 2 percent to 67 percent in 2006, 1 percent to 68 percent in 2007 and 0 percent to 67 percent in 2008. There is a significant difference in self-citation rate between most groups of journals. The self-citation rate is positively and significantly correlated with the self-citation rate in 2006 for all 222 journals (N = 222, R(2) = 0.194, P = 0.004) (P<0.05). However, the self-citation rate is not significantly correlated with the journal's impact factor in 2007 (N = 222, R(2) = 0.114, P = 0.091) and 2008 (N = 222, R(2) = 0.112, P = 0.096) (P<0.05) for the 222 journals. The relationship between self-citation rate and journal impact factor is discussed. Serials Review 2011; 37:171-173. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
