Abstract :
Aim: Self-citation may skew journal rankings based on the impact factor. The goal of our current review is to look at current point of self-citation in plastic surgery publications and how it affects Impact Factors of such journals.
Methods: The Journal Citation Report VR was used to examine the IF, IF deprived of self-citations, self-cited rate, in addition self-citing rate for 17 cosmetic surgery journals from 2021 to 2012. The relationships between Impact Factor and self-cited rate have been reviewed in this chapter. Furthermore, in 2015, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery remained evaluated to 18 peer reviewed journals from different medical specialties.
Results: The self-cited rate (R: 0.596, p140.002) and self-cited rate (R: 0.827, p0.002) were both substantially linked with IF. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery had a higher self-citation rate in 2018 than highest papers from additional surgical disciplines. The Impact Factors of Microsurgery also Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery have grown significantly in current years, although this is due to high self-citation and self-citation rates.
Conclusion: The degree of self has a beneficial effect on Impact Factor in plastic surgery publications. Some publications’ high proportion of self-citation may mislead the ranking amongst plastic surgery papers in over-all.
Keywords: self-citation, plastic surgery publications, impact factors.
