Hello respected ones, I want to ask: I have a previously published research that was cited before, but now this citation is no longer in your database. Please resolve this issue for me. With respect."
You addressed your question to the open Q&A forum here on RG (and not to anyone of the RG team). The short answer is: nothing can be done. The longer answer is that I have good and bad news:
The bad news is that unfortunately you published a paper in a journal with ‘issues’ Article The Role of Sharp Power in the External Political Behavior o...
see for reasons why for example https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_should_i_do_A_journal_have_published_my_paper_however_I_never_submitted_the_manuscript_to_that_journal
The good news is that what most likely happened is that the paper that cited yours Article The Limits of China’s Sharp Power in Israel’s Academic and M...
was first uploaded here as a preprint and now with a more final version.
If you go to the link and click on references, you see that your paper is not mentioned (and not recognized by the RG search engine/algorithm).
This incomplete (lacking the proper meta data) version was uploaded by one of the authors. Once the publisher releases the paper to RG your paper/reference most likely will be recognised. Since the paper that cited your paper is published relatively recently it might take a while.
Again, as stated in the beginning not much can be done about it but just wait.
If you are looking for the best advice on how to write a research paper, the first thing you would find is to cite your sources. In academic research, it is standardized by many institutions. And, publication venues such as conferences and journals are somehow strict about their formats. Hence, it is best for students with PhD degrees and aspiring researchers to know how to cite a research paper and other sources in their works. Citing your sources properly is also important for many reasons. One of the most important ones is that you can easily establish to your reviewers and readers the context around and relevancy of your work.
But, creating a reference section for your paper or dissertation can be a tedious task. As such, this article should serve as your guide on how to reference a research paper in popular formats: APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, and the IEEE style. A list of digital tools that can make citation easier and a quick tutorial will also be provided. This way, you can concentrate more on the content of your paper rather than what many consider a cumbersome task.
