Many imported seeds are not recognised #50

I imported a BibTeX file generated by Zotero containing 14 elements, but only 3 are recognised and only 1 has the papers that cite it. I attached a screenshot of the problem:

I hope you can fix it, or maybe my Zotero's library is not good. Thank you, Regards, Luca Urbinati

Can you attach a copy of the BibTex file and I can look into it? You may have to change the extension to .txt so that Github will let you attach it.

Here the file: Quantization & Pruning.txt

From what I could understand, the seeds in the screenshots are the only papers with a DOI. So maybe this is the problem. But there are many paper out there without a DOI. So I was expecting that Citation Gecko should recognize the others, too. Moreover, for two seeds out of three with a DOI, Citation Gecko wasn't able to recognize any paper connected to them (in black). Maybe this is another related issue.

Thank you for your time, Regards, Luca Urbinati

For CitationGecko to find citations for a paper, it has to exist in CrossRef. If it doesn't have a doi, it MIGHT exist in crossref, but it's very unlikely.

The vast majority of papers out there DO have a doi, but often, one has to go hunting for it. I don't know whether CitationGecko currently tries to locate dois for papers imported without doi , however, I'd imagine that this will often fail for a variety of reason unrelated to CitationGecko. Edit: I do know this now, CitationGecko currently doesn't do so, see issue #10.

As for the seeds for which CitationGecko couldn't find any references, well, check if the publisher of those papers provides open citation data, you can check this on https://i4oc.org

If they don't, I encourage you to start lobbying them until they do, and encouraging your colleagues to do the same. ;)

Also, note that you might run into the case sensitivity issue described in #5 (I haven't checked your bibtex file for whether or not that applies, however.)
