Scientific paper

About 15% of all citations in astronomical papers published during January 1983 were self-citations, in the sense that the cited and citing papers had at least one author in common. The self-citation rate varies surprisingly little among journals, countries, subdisciplines, and epochs, and is rather higher than has generally been thought. These data do not tell us whether the current rate of self-citations in astronomical papers is too high, too low, or just right for an active, growing science; they merely tell us what it actually is.
