The idea is that for some people, e.g. without Google Scholar or (populated) ORCID, it is hard to easily identify which articles are theirs (example). Then you have the manually go through the list, figure out past employers, etc. It would be nice to prioritize then articles that are highly linked in Wikidata. So, for example, with a lot of 'cites work' links.

SELECT ?potentialMatch (COUNT(DISTINCT ?work) AS ?count) WHERE {
  VALUES ?potentialMatch { wd:Q91953843 wd:Q41597290 }
  ?work wdt:P2860 ?potentialMatch .
} GROUP BY ?potentialMatch

@egonw ah, I'd been thinking you were looking for cases where we have a reference using a paper as a source - P248 I guess. P2860 seems simple enough though. Or is the idea to look for any property that links to the work, so for example:

SELECT ?potentialMatch (COUNT(DISTINCT ?item) AS ?count) WHERE { VALUES ?potentialMatch { wd:Q91953843 wd:Q41597290 } ?item ?prop ?potentialMatch . } GROUP BY ?potentialMatch

Or just a specific list of properties? Or just P2860?

Interesting idea! Yeah, besides number of citations to it, I can also imagine other properties to be of interest, like perhaps the number of co-authors (P50), the number of times the article is used as reference, or the number of main subjects the article is annotated with.
