Self-cited researchers in Indonesia: Top 2% scientists 2026
Live Directory analytics: the Indonesia mean self_citation_pct is about 15.62% (rank 28 of 170). The Indonesia-scoped author ranking opens with Musari, Khairunnisa (66.98%, 106 citations).
Which Indonesia Top 2% scientists have the highest self-citation share?
Direct answer: ABS Nexora ranks researchers by the native field self_citation_pct (Stanford–Ioannidis self%). Scoped to country=idn for the 2026 single-year listing, the author ranking opens with Musari, Khairunnisa (Universitas Islam Negeri Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember; 66.98%; 106 total citations). That is a share of that author’s citations, not a claim that any named scholar engaged in misconduct.
The Indonesia country mean on rankings metric avg_self_citation_pct is about 15.62% across 272 listed scholars — rank 28 of 170 countries. That mean sits above Thailand (14.16%; n=508), Bangladesh (12.30%; n=347), India (11.83%; n=6,940), China (9.80%; n=35,681), and Malaysia (8.66%; n=939). The United States mean is about 8.30% (n=73,459).
Small-n caveat: a 272-scholar file has a noisy percentage tail. The names at the top of this ranking are not the same names as the Indonesia top researchers panel. Read the author table and the country rank together.
What the Directory is actually ranking
| Element | Native API field | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Per researcher | self_citation_pct | Stanford–Ioannidis self% for that author |
| Per country | avg_self_citation_pct | Mean of those percentages |
| Indonesia authors | /api/analytics/self-citation/authors?scope=country&entity=idn | Paginated Indonesia ranking |
| Country sort | /api/analytics/rankings?metric=avg_self_citation_pct | 170 countries in this snapshot |
This is not “most self-citations in absolute counts.” A researcher with 106 citations and a 67% self-share can outrank a researcher with 2,800 citations and a 10% self-share.
Top of the Indonesia self-citation author ranking
| Researcher | Institution | Field | self_citation_pct | Citations (all) | Global rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Musari, Khairunnisa | Universitas Islam Negeri Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember | Economics & Business | 66.98% | 106 | 264,366 |
| Valen, Fitri Sil | Universitas Bangka Belitung | Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry | 62.84% | 444 | 248,822 |
| Mase, L. Z. | Universitas Bengkulu | Engineering | 59.91% | 429 | 38,648 |
| Pazla, Roni | Universitas Andalas | Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry | 53.08% | 292 | 430,176 |
| Suryawan, I. Wayan Koko | Universitas Pertamina | Earth & Environmental Sciences | 50.25% | 792 | 72,656 |
| Effendi, Mustofa Helmi | Universitas Airlangga | Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry | 49.37% | 873 | 217,405 |
| Aldila, Dipo | Universitas Indonesia | Physics & Astronomy | 46.46% | 353 | 89,560 |
| Budiono, Arief | Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta | Clinical Medicine | 45.41% | 196 | 652,943 |
| Katili, Irwan | Universitas Indonesia | Enabling & Strategic Technologies | 45.00% | 140 | 235,213 |
| Hasan, Veryl | Universitas Airlangga | Biology | 42.92% | 671 | 127,067 |
Small-n caveat: several names near the top have under 300 total citations (Musari 106, Pazla 292, Budiono 196, Katili 140). Percentages swing hard on small denominators. Always read citations (all) and global rank next to self_citation_pct. None of these ten appear on the Indonesia top researchers rank_all panel. Mase, L. Z. is the best-ranked name in this slice (rank 38,648; 59.91%; 429 citations).
Higher-citation Indonesia names still high on self-citation %
Filtering the same Indonesia pull toward researchers with larger citation totals:
| Researcher | Field | self_citation_pct | Citations (all) | Global rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pardamean, Bens | Information & Communication Technologies | 36.81% | 1,141 | 103,399 |
| Permana, Andi Dian | Clinical Medicine | 32.52% | 1,107 | 83,121 |
| Prabowo, Aditya Rio | Enabling & Strategic Technologies | 36.72% | 1,005 | 134,414 |
| Effendi, Mustofa Helmi | Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry | 49.37% | 873 | 217,405 |
| Suryawan, I. Wayan Koko | Earth & Environmental Sciences | 50.25% | 792 | 72,656 |
| Hasan, Veryl | Biology | 42.92% | 671 | 127,067 |
Pardamean, Bens (Bina Nusantara University; ICT) is a useful mid-rank example: 36.81% self-citation share, 1,141 citations, global rank 103,399. Suryawan, I. Wayan Koko has 792 citations at 50.25% (rank 72,656).
Indonesia’s mean is high for the region — and the file is small
Stat sentence: Among 170 countries ranked by avg_self_citation_pct, Indonesia is #28 at about 15.62%, with a 272-scholar cohort. That mean is above Malaysia, China, India, Bangladesh, and Thailand in this snapshot. High individual percentages exist in the tail; they do not by themselves prove misconduct, and they do not rewrite the Indonesia top researchers ranks.
How to use this metric responsibly
- Prefer the profile over a screenshot of one percentage.
- Compare all-citations vs excluding-self (
ns) ranks on the same scholar page. - Do not treat a high
self_citation_pctas proof of misconduct; field norms and collaboration patterns differ. - For named universities and field mix, use Indonesia top universities and Indonesia field strengths.
- When you cite a paper, the Journal Quality Report is the journal-side companion.

FAQ
Who is the most self-cited Indonesia Top 2% scientist in this snapshot? On self_citation_pct, Musari, Khairunnisa leads the Indonesia-scoped author ranking at 66.98% (106 citations).
Is Indonesia a high self-citation country? The Indonesia mean is about 15.62%, rank 28 of 170 — above Malaysia, China, and India in this file. The list has only 272 scholars, so the country mean is sensitive to the tail.
Why do some Indonesia names show 45–67% self-citation? The ranking is a percentage. Small citation totals produce large percentages. Read the citation column.
What API field should I quote? Quote self_citation_pct for a person and avg_self_citation_pct for Indonesia. Do not relabel them as “self-citation count.”
Does a high percentage mean the scholar is not influential? Not by itself. Check rank_all, rank_ns, field, and the full profile — e.g. Mase, L. Z. (rank 38,648; 429 citations) or Pardamean, Bens (rank 103,399; 1,141 citations).
Where can I reproduce the Indonesia list? /api/analytics/self-citation/authors?scope=country&entity=idn&listing=single_year and the Indonesia country page analytics views.
How do I cite an Indonesia Top 2% scientist after checking self-citation? Follow how to find, verify, and cite: name, listing (single-year vs career), year, rank, and the live scholar URL.
