Self-citation is the practice of referencing previously published work. It is critical to provide citations whenever concepts, details, or other material has been covered in previous publications.
Self-citation in abundance may be called crass and unprofessional, and in certain circumstances, immoral. In either situation, self-citation (even unnecessary self-citation) can be appropriate and forgivable in certain circumstances. For instance, if you work in a specialized area of science, self-citation can be required.
Is there any software tool to automatically detect self-citations?
Hello,
There are websites like SCOPUS and ORCID that show you how many papers are self-citation.
Dear Prof. Bryar Hassan,
There is no need for this software. The issue is not complex. It is just to compare the authors' names with the references. For more information, please take a look at the following useful RG link:
