Make use of Elsevier APIs for collecting per product scopus citations (if any)
0%
Description
Elsevier offers a number of APIs https://dev.elsevier.com/api_docs.html
In particular
- the Abstract Citations Count API https://dev.elsevier.com/documentation/AbstractCitationCountAPI.wadl returns a watermarked image per paper indexed by Scopus;
- the Citation Overview API https://dev.elsevier.com/documentation/AbstractCitationAPI.wadl returns a per year document citation counts per paper indexed by Scopus;
Using the first is quite simple (an API key is needed) ... I am using in my website. Among the advantages of this solution there is the fact that people linking on it have access to a Scopus page listing the papers contributing to the citation count.

Are the APIs limited to a number of accesses per IP/per day? This may cause issues in high picks of requests (anvur?). Shall we use CNR/ISTI credentials?
Shall we do the same for Google Scholar?

An API Key is needed, I can generate one with my Scopus credentials. I see no massive loads ... the API should be invoked per paper, i.e. when a user accesses the paper page.
Shall we do the same for Google Scholar?
AFAIK there are no APIs there.

The advantage I see is to generate a list of articles together with the individual numbers, plus the calculation of overall numbers for users, labs, etc.

we need to scrape, we have 100 accesses per day I think.
AFAIK there are no APIs there.
