Dear Reza Fahmi ,

Sometimes, I cite my previous works because of the continuous Research works as well as to reveal really own contribution.

Sincerely

What do you think about self citations?

Self citations are fine provided they are performed rationally or relevant to your current research / manuscript writing rather than merely bias toward your published papers or set with an intention to merely "market" your published papers.

Dear Reza,

from the viewpoint of intellectual property rights it is absolutely correct to cite yourself when you are the first who published a special topic in your own papers. Anyway you should take care that you are really the the creator of the contetnt you cite. That might be sometimes difficult and not your intential mistake. But I think there are a lot of possibilites to correct it later on when following up the topic in your papers.

With best regards

Michael

P.S. This subject was the reason why I started the project https://www.researchgate.net/project/SCIENTIFIC-LITERATURE-40-examplarily-for-Carbon-Fiber-Research

Self citation is not bad when there is the need to.

I agree with precedent answers.

I add for the reverse case, when there are very few self-citations, means that there are no connection nor continuity with previous works. The researcher jumps from a subject to another, ....!

It is normal and accepted

It should be a related work

Agree with all the details

That's true,@Noureddine

Self citations is a normal practice

If it is done properly there is no problem with it

Self citation is normally observed in most of the research papers. This is essential because it gives idea about status of present research work with previous work in the same area by the same researcher. Some times it helps in linking the research activities and gives proper direction to the long term research work . Indirectly, self citation is indication of an area of interest of the researcher. Actually , self citation should also be counted for determining citation index.

Any citation is only appropriate when it is 'relevant' to the article being written. If you work in a subfield which is populated by only a few researchers, then you will likely end up citing your own articles a lot. This is not a bad practice, just a result of the fact that you are a major contributor in that area.

Where the area of research is quite grey and the researcher is the lead on that area then it becomes necessary to cite one's self.

I do self-citation to reveal my own contribution as well as the continuous research works

I agree with my colleague ..Aung Ze Ya!.

I agree with Aung Ze Ya .

Self citation is acceptable when it is relevent to paper. Moreover, it increases your work visibility

Dear all,

A similar topic to this has been discussed recently on Researchgate. See more comments here: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Self_citation_is_it_ethical_or_necessary_sometimes

Thanks for the insight Paul.

It's the best way to promote your previous published papers. It also gives you a lot of visibility.

I think this way is very important to confirm your professionality in such research work and to avoid any dought for overlapping of that submitted work with other published one.

I agree@Refat
