| Abstract: | Summary The objective of the present study is twofold: (1) to show the aims and means of quantitative interpretation of bibliographic
features in bibliometrics and their re-interpretation in research policy, and (2) to summarise the state-of-art in self-citation
research. The authors describe three approaches to the role of author self-citations and possible conflicts arising from the
different perspectives. From the bibliometric viewpoint we can conclude that that there is no reason for condemning self-citations
in general or for removing them from macro or meso statistics; supplementary indicators based on self-citations are, nonetheless,
useful to understand communication patterns. |
