Self-citation rates by gender across research domains
What it shows
Rates of self-citation differ according to gender across scholarly disciplines and sub-fields. We determine the self-citation rates of men and women, per pubication. When the rates are the same for both genders, the colors in each block are split evenly in half. When men authors self-cite twice as often per publication as do women authors, then the block will be 2/3 cream and 1/3 brown.
