Consider integrating Semantic Scholar for citations #168

Open gorgonical opened 2 years ago

I like this tool, but the citation backends it uses are somewhat lacking and for some papers do not return the right citations. For example, this paper:

Manticore: A 4096-Core RISC-V Chiplet Architecture for Ultraefficient Floating-Point Computing at the link https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9296802

The publisher's page shows 8 citations, and Semantic Scholar shows 11. However, OpenCitations only shows 1:

https://opencitations.net/index/search?text=10.1109%2FMM.2020.3045564

The citation OpenCitations shows is very new, but none of the more substantial papers are found. Semantic Scholar shows 11:

https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Manticore%3A-A-4096-Core-RISC-V-Chiplet-Architecture-Zaruba-Schuiki/101aa1ae346b6ef8068e5ede6e9afb4496a947ee#citing-papers

For my use-case at least this really limits the utility of the pure-suggest tool. If possible, you should consider adding Semantic Scholar as a citation source.

Great work!

Thanks for the suggestion and the comparison.

Data availability is definitely crucial for the tool to work well! The OpenCitations data is quite okay in my area of research (visualization), but this might vary across fields. So, it is good to know about your experience.

However, Semantic Scholar, might not be as "open" to access the data, but I will look into that.

Also, OpenAlex_org might be an interesting data source.
