SCImago Rank of Self-citations

Welcome to the Scimago Journal & Country Rank, a renowned platform for evaluating self-citations in scientific research. Self-citations refer to the instances where researchers or authors cite their own previously published works. In this latest update, we present the top and bottom countries based on self-citations.

At the pinnacle of self-citations, China takes the lead with an impressive count of 812,793 self-citations. This highlights the nation's active engagement with its own body of research and the continuous exploration and development of previously published works.
