For this tool, a 'self-citation' is defined as any instance where the citing paper and the cited paper share at least one author.

Please note that the citation coverage from DBLP, OpenCitations, and OpenAlex is extensive but may not be 100% complete. The calculated rate should be considered a valuable estimate to aid in your research, not as an absolute, definitive figure.
