| Abstract | Comments on the study by J. G. Adair and N. Vohra (see record 2003-02034-002) of changes in the number of references and citations in psychology journals as a consequence of the current knowledge explosion. They made a striking observation of the sometimes excessive number of self-citations in psychology journals. However, after this illustration, no further attention was paid to the issue of self-citation. Therefore, an important underexplored question is to what extent impact factors of psychology journals are artificially inflated or deflated by self-citations. For the present article, the authors used the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) databases Web of Science (WoS) and Journal Citation Reports (JCR) as the basis of our analyses. From each article (including empirical articles and literature reviews) in five high-, five middle-, and five low-ranked journals in psychology published in 1998 and 1999, they collected the number of self-citations and other-citations in 2000 from the WoS. Data analyses show that, compared with low- and middle-impact psychology journals, the true citation counts of high-impact psychology journals are actually underestimated. (Author). |
