The ScopusSearch class returns the number of articles citing a given article:

Is there any method or Scopus API that returns the list of these articles?

Michael-E-Rose commented 5 years ago

Yes and no. You would have to make another query like "REF(xxx)".

VJalili commented 5 years ago

Any examples?

Michael-E-Rose commented 5 years ago

Well, if 2-s2.0-84981347698 is the paper whose citing papers you're interested in, you use the ScopusSearch class with the query REF(2-s2.0-84981347698).

https://pybliometrics.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/ScopusSearch.html describes how to continue then.
