Abstract The coefficient of self-diffusion along an external magnetic field in a dense plasma is evaluated with the use of a kinetic equation that takes dynamical screening effects into account. It is found that the self-diffusion coefficient diminishes monotonously as the magnetic field strength increases. Qualitatively the present calculation corroborates a result obtained recently in a cruder approximation in which only static screening effects are considered
