DESCRIPTION:Dr. Brett Thombs and Dr. Russell Steele\n\nA Method for Identif
 ying Journal-generated Self-citation: Application to General Medicine\, Ca
 rdiology\, and Psychiatry Journals\n\nALL ARE WELCOME\n\nSYNOPSIS:\n\nThe 
 impact of academic research is commonly quantified through citation metric
 s. It is well-known that some authors inflate their citation counts throug
 h self-citation. The practice of “coercive self-citation” by editors of ac
 ademic journals has also been described\, by which editors make requests t
 o authors during the article review process to add citations from the edit
 or’s own journal without any rationale provided. That is\, the editor give
 s no indication that the manuscript is lacking in attribution or contains 
 important inaccuracies or specific gaps\, which will be addressed via a di
 scussion of a recommended citation. Journal editors have also attempted to
  increase citations to their own journal and\, thus\, the journal’s impact
  factor\, through tactics\, such as requiring that all authors submitting 
 to the journal cite an article on the journal’s ethics policies. Surveys o
 f academics have established that inappropriate journal-generated self-cit
 ation is not a rare occurrence. However\, there is no existing mechanism f
 or identifying journals with atypical patterns of self-citation suggestive
  of journal-generated self-citation. Thomson-Reuters publishes impact fact
 ors adjusted for self-citation\, but this method does not separate appropr
 iately high levels of journal self-citation\, such as when journals specia
 lized on a relatively narrow topic\, from inappropriate journal-generated 
 self-citation. We will present a method that our research group has develo
 ped for identifying patterns of self-citation that may reflect inappropria
 te journal-generated self-citation and will demonstrate application of the
  method to general medicine\, cardiology\, and psychiatry journals.\n\nOBJ
 ECTIVES:\n\n1) To describe the phenomenon of journal-generated self-citati
 on and how it may be used by some journal editors to artificially inflate 
 citation counts and impact factor\;\n\n2) To describe the development of a
  method for identifying journals with patterns of self-citation that may b
 e consistent with inappropriate journal-generated self-citation\; and\n\n3
 ) To demonstrate the mcapplication of this method in general medicine\, ps
 ychiatry\, and cardiology journals.\n\nBIO:\n\nBrett Thombs: http://www.la
