Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
Attribution Theory00:56

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958). An internal factor is an...
Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One example of...
Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors01:15

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...
The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the $2,000...
Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Anesthesiology journals show significant differences in self-citation rates. While the contribution of self-citations to journal impact factor (IF) has generally declined over time, periodic reassessment is crucial for maintaining publication integrity.

Published on: April 18, 2025

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Bibliometrics
  • Scholarly Publishing

Background:

  • Authors were prompted to cite additional references from the submission journal.
  • Hypothesized differences in self-citation numbers and rates among anesthesiology journals in 2005 and 2010.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the number and rate of self-citations in anesthesiology journals.
  • To analyze the relationship between self-citations, impact factor (IF), and publication trends.

Main Methods:

  • Review of manuscript self-citations from 2005 and 2010.
  • Secondary analysis of IF, self-referencing rates, and self-citation contributions using ISI Journal Citation Reports (2000-2009).

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in self-citation number and rate were observed among journals in 2005 and 2010.
  • A general decline in the contribution of self-citations to IF was noted across aggregate journals from 2000-2009.
  • Positive correlations found between self-cited rate, percentage of self-cites, and IF.

Conclusions:

  • Self-citation numbers and rates vary significantly across anesthesiology journals.
  • The impact of self-citations on journal IF has decreased over time for most journals.
  • Regular reassessment of publication practices is recommended to ensure transparency and impartiality.
