Description

Enhance your academic research with the Self-Citation Checker. This powerful extension seamlessly integrates into Google Scholar, allowing you to instantly analyze and assess author self-citation rates directly on their profile pages.

Whether you are a researcher, student, or academic professional, this tool provides a new layer of insight into citation patterns, promoting transparency and helping you evaluate an author's influence more effectively.

Key Features:

📊 Seamless Integration: Automatically adds a "Self-Citation Rate" column to the main statistics table on any Google Scholar author page.

🔍 Instant Analysis: Upon visiting a profile, the extension immediately calculates the self-citation percentage. The result is displayed clearly, with a loading icon to show it's working.

â„šī¸ Transparent & Reliable Data: The analysis is powered by trusted academic sources, using author data from DBLP and citation data from the DBLP-OpenCitations integration. For non CS/EE, it uses OpenAlex.

🔄 One-Click Refresh: A simple "Refresh" button allows you to clear cached data and re-run the analysis at any time for the most up-to-date calculation.

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.

Install the Self-Citation Checker today to bring deeper analytical power to your work on Google Scholar
