The journal citation data that were explored include cited times, impact factor, immediacy index, citing half-life, cited half-life, self-citing rate (synchronous self-citation) and self cited rate (diachronous self-citation). Moreover, the relationship between each citation data and two self-citation rates, and the mean difference between two self-citation rates are examined by statistical tests.
