How is "Self-Citation" Defined?

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

Disclaimer:

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.
