Excluding of self-citations does not work in author_retrieval() #35

Closed tombroekel closed 2 years ago

tombroekel commented 4 years ago

The same results in terms of $content$author-retrieval-response[[1]]$coredata$citation-count is obtained when using author_retrieval(au_id="35274452900",self_cite ="exclude") and author_retrieval(au_id="35274452900",self_cite ="include").

It seems as though the Scopus API has taken out this option: https://dev.elsevier.com/documentation/AuthorRetrievalAPI.wadl

If you go to https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=35274452900, then citation overview, you see the same result is returned regardless of whether self-citation is clicked, so you're getting the same output as the website.

Without exclusion

OK - then it's just not an option anymore on the API. Best, John
