作者：

Highlights：

• Coercive self-citations seriously undermine the integrity and impartiality of journals and produce a detrimental academic atmosphere.

• We develop a method for automatically identifying the undesirable self-citation behavior.

• The classification model is effective at identifying abnormal journals involved in coercive self-citation using a classification model.
