Single citations #4

Is there a way to download not an aggregate of citations for a paper of a person but a detailed list of who is citing that paper and, ideally, when the citation came in? This would open many doors for great things in terms of building networks and analyzing the "rate of adoption" (how long it takes for the first citation to drop, etc.).

This information is available when you click on the citation count of a certain publication, but it's a bit trickier as you would have to parse multiple results pages. This isn't a priority for me at the moment though, so I'll add it to the future features list.

Another interesting benefit of having the citation details would be to extract auto-citation rate, which is somewhat useful in assessing overall citation rate. Seems rather complicated to implement, however, at least to me...

Support for getting the aggregate citation history of a single article is provided by https://github.com/jkeirstead/scholar/commit/a10e47944df810cf3de5a1a9252a54b2dda4b33b (see #6).

There's no easy way to get all of the articles citing a specified article; you would have to crawl through them 10 results at a time. I'm going to leave this ticket open for a future version.

So, in the current version it is not possible getting all results of a topic search, I am right?. So, at the moment "scholar" only works if I want information to author-level?

jefferis commented 5 years ago

Hmm not sure what you mean – can you be more specific about what search you want to do?

alegnacamargo commented 5 years ago

I did a search in Google scholar, for example using the keyword "pollination". I would like "download" all the articles on this topic (BibTex references). It is possible with scholar? Thanks!

jefferis commented 5 years ago

I'm afraid that's not part of the current functionality. I'm sure a patch would be welcome if there is a way to get this information from google scholar.

Thanks!
