The authors selected 10 domestic core journals of sport from CSSCI (2011-2012) and 15 internationally important journals of sport (top 15 in the comprehensive ranking list made by JCR-SCI) to do a comparative analysis by using citation evaluation parameters (frequency of publication, frequency of being cited, influence factor, current-year index, self citation rate, half-life of being cited, half-life of citation), and revealed the following findings: the characteristic difference of self citation rates was sig-nificant (P<0.05), and the domestic one was better than the international one; the characteristic difference of half-lives of being cited was significant (P<0.05), and the domestic one was worse than the international one; the characteristic differences of such two parameters as influence factor and current-year index were significant (P<0.01), and the domestic ones were much better than the international ones; the characteristic difference of half-lives of being cited was significant (P<0.01), domestic writers tend to focus more on reading and citing latest literature.
