“…For the first question, results show similar findings as previous studies (Larivière et al, ; Tang et al, ): most citations of Chinese and US papers are from domestic or partner countries, and shares of Domestic citations of China and the US reach over 60% and 30%, respectively. Compared with Domestic citations , Partner citations (in IC) and Other citations are less in Chinese publications but obviously higher in US publications; this is consistent with relatively higher and lower shares of foreign citations of US and China as reported by National Science Board (, Chapter 5).…”

“…From the cited side (cited references), Mervis () found that Asian scientists were increasingly citing Asian papers, and in the reference lists of Asian papers, the visibility of Asian references was about to equal that of EU and US references. During the period of 1980–1996, about 40% of the references and citations of European papers were other European outputs, and for US, the percentage of US references in the references of US papers were even higher (about 60%) (Larivière, Gong, & Sugimoto, ). From the citing side (citing articles), high percentage of citations from the same country (namely rate of country self‐citation) can be observed.…”

“…From the citing side (citing articles), high percentage of citations from the same country (namely rate of country self‐citation) can be observed. For example, 47% and 37% of the citations to Chinese and US papers were from their own countries (Larivière et al, ), and about 52% and 36%, respectively, to Chinese and US highly cited papers in nanotechnology were also detected (Tang et al, ). Jaffe () also observed high rates of country self‐citations in various countries.…”

Based on publications in Chemistry in 2015, this paper investigated the citation impact on domestic and foreign scholarly communities of Chinese and US publications, and to what extent does such impact relate to international collaboration and government funding. First‐ or corresponding authorship in international collaboration is defined as dominance and is taken into consideration. Citations to publications are designated as domestic citations (Chinese or US citations), partner citations or other citations according to overlap of countries of citing and cited publications. Significant difference exists in the two countries. Most citations of Chinese publications are from domestic and partner countries, with domestic citations being the mainstay. In contrast, US papers receive more other citations than domestic or partner citations, and citations from partner countries contribute significantly. US papers have higher global impact than those of China. High domestic citation propensity is associated with non‐international collaboration, dominance of focal country in international collaboration, and national funding support. Such phenomenon is more pronounced in Chinese papers. In other words, citation impact of Chinese publications is more limited in domestic community, whereas that of the US is more global.

“…In terms of scholarly impact, Larivière et al (2018) examined the percentile rank of selected countries' self‐citations from 2009 to 2017. They found that all countries are more likely to cite other papers from the same country, yet publications from the United States are cited by researchers from all countries.…”

The emphasis on research evaluation has brought scrutiny to the role of self-citations in the scholarly communication process. While author selfcitations have been studied at length, little is known on national-level selfreferences (SRs). This paper analyses the citation context of national SRs, using the full-text of 184,859 papers published in PLOS journals. It investigates the differences between national SRs and nonself-references (NSRs) in terms of their in-text mention, presence in enumerations, and location features. For all countries, national SRs exhibit a higher level of engagement than NSRs. NSRs are more often found in enumerative citances than SRs, which suggests that researchers pay more attention to domestic than foreign studies. There are more mentions of national research in the methods section, which provides evidence that methodologies developed in a nation are more likely to be used by other researchers from the same nation. Publications from the United States are cited at a higher rate in each of the sections, indicating that the country still maintains a dominant position in science. On the whole, this paper contributes to a better understanding of the role of national SRs in the scholarly communication system, and how it varies across countries and over time.
