Dear Michael Uebel. Thank you so much for the useful link.

MO.

Hussein A. Abid

I think when it used a lot will be considered a bad thing.

Elhadi I. Dekam

Definitely and mostly, it is required to have a specific sequence for the research work developments. Otherwise, it's not nice to do so.

Modestus Okwu

Thank you so much for your valuable comments H.A. Abid and E.I.Dekam.

Mohammad Mehdizadeh

I think there is no problem for relevant citations.

Sarah J S

Why not if you work on a research in same line of your previous research or you are trying complete some results

Chinwe Okonkwo

I'm not sure self citation is ethical

Mohamed Hossni

Dear Modestus Okwu

Generally, to assure an accurate practice, self-citations should be used to support the arguments, not to demonstrate your research. Moreover, self-cites may used to compare recent findings of the research with previous results when studying the same theme. The important point here is to avoid turning self-citations into self-promotion.
