Factors, components and dynamics: investigation of journal self-citation and citation by equal opportunity model

“…Some quantitative approaches were also initialized by the discussion of the relations between self-citation, citation and related influence factors ( Yu and Wang, 2007 ; Galiani and Gálvez, 2019 ; Brzica, 2021 ; Huang et al., 2021 ; Zhou, 2021 ). In addition, studies were recently promoted for quantitatively predicting the citation of article ( Abrishami and Aliakbary, 2019 ; Huang et al., 2022 ; Zhao and Feng, 2022 ; Zhou et al., 2022 ), author ( Ayaz et al., 2018 ), journal ( Rocha-e-Silva, 2016 ), etc. These quantitative approaches may be essential to establish a robust quantitative model for the citation behaviors of articles and to provide clues and suggestions for the improvement of the present JIF-based evaluation system.…”
