A semantic interpretations of citation as assumptions

Abstract

Citation is specifically a problem in the world of publication after being used as a benchmark for ranking the writing quality, or indirectly ranking the author. This paper aims to reveal some of the assumptions interpreted from several data sets about citations, especially self-citations. Self-citation becomes a special problem when it becomes a measure for the performance of countries, journals, institutions, and authors. So far, there are links between assumptions about self-citation for the country, journal, and author.
