is-referenced-by-count and citedby-count differ #211

Closed geometrikal closed 7 years ago

geometrikal commented 7 years ago

is-referenced-by-count and citedby-count differ between json and xml

e.g. compare

kmeddings commented 7 years ago

Hi - yes, we need to update the JSON and will be working on it this week.

moqri commented 7 years ago

It seems the issue with the citation count in JSON is fixed for some of the journals but not for all of them. Is there anyway to find out which one is fixed and which one is not yet?

kmeddings commented 7 years ago

Do you have an example of one that is still showing different counts?

moqri commented 7 years ago

I'll check the data and will post here if they are still different.

Meanwhile you might find this interesting: the following article has the referenced-by-count of zero while it is cited more than 70 times and lots of them from Elsevier

http://api.crossref.org/works/http://dx.doi.org/10.13040/IJPSR.0975-8232.1(1).29-46

(the cited-by for this specific article is also 0 by the way)

Hi - that DOI is for a journal issue. Looking at some of the other DOIs from the same journal though it's all a bit confused - the latest issue's DOIs aren't registered at all. Looks like they are getting some sort of data from Google Scholar. Very few of their DOIs resolve properly.
