This paper defines and discusses two important types of citations, self-citation and mandatory citation, in engineering journals. Citation can be classified in three categories: optional; semi-mandatory; and mandatory. There are some negative and positive impacts for the authors' paper and journals' reputation if mandatory citation of a paper or set of papers is requested. These effects can be different based on the recommended papers for citing in the new research. Mandatory citation has various types discussed in this paper. Self-citation and its reasons and impacts are also discussed in the present study.
本文定义并讨论了工程期刊中两种重要的引用类型,即自引和强制引用。引用可分为三类:可选择的;半强制的;以及强制的。如果要求对一篇或一组论文进行强制引用,会对作者的论文和期刊声誉产生一些负面和正面影响。根据新研究中推荐引用的论文,这些影响可能会有所不同。本文讨论了强制引用的各种类型。本研究还讨论了自引及其原因和影响。
