Mali, Shrikant balasaheb. “Anaphylaxis during the perioperative period.” Anesthesia, Essays and Researches 6 (2012): 124 - 133.
This article has 169 sites on semantic scholar
and same article has 56 citations in google scholar.
generally the citations are more in google scholar than anywhere else.
can anyone tell me what is going on.
and if this is correct can I do anything to increase my citations in google scholar for same article.
there are several reasons why there may be a mismatch in citation counts between Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar. Here are some possible explanations:
Data sources: Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar use different data sources to calculate citation counts. Google Scholar includes citations from a wide range of sources, including articles, theses, books, and conference papers, while Semantic Scholar focuses on citations from academic papers and conference proceedings. This difference in data sources can lead to discrepancies in citation counts.
Citation indexing: Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar have different citation indexing algorithms. Google Scholar uses a proprietary algorithm to identify and index citations, while Semantic Scholar uses a combination of natural language processing and machine learning techniques to identify and extract citations. These differences in indexing algorithms can result in differences in citation counts.
Citation normalization: Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar may normalize citations differently. Normalization is the process of adjusting citation counts to account for variations in citation practices across different fields and time periods. Google Scholar uses a proprietary normalization algorithm, while Semantic Scholar uses a normalization algorithm that takes into account the number of authors, publication venue, and citation practices in the field.
Errors and inconsistencies: Both Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar may contain errors or inconsistencies in their citation data. For example, Google Scholar may miss citations or incorrectly attribute them to the wrong paper, while Semantic Scholar may misclassify citations or fail to recognize them. These errors can lead to discrepancies in citation counts.
Time lag: There may be a time lag between when a paper is published and when it is indexed by Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar. This can result in differences in citation counts, especially for recently published papers.
Paper similarity: Semantic Scholar uses a similarity metric to group papers together based on their content. This can lead to differences in citation counts, especially for papers that are not exactly the same but are similar in content.
It's important to note that citation counts are not always a perfect measure of a paper's impact or quality. There are many factors that can influence citation counts, such as the field, research area, and publication venue. It's always a good idea to look at multiple metrics and consider other factors when evaluating a paper's impact.
Dear Shrikant Mali
I had a look at https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Anaphylaxis-during-the-perioperative-period-Mali/be20e88bfd3858667db0d7d094519bf03f404bf5 and checked some of the citations, see for example:
Mertes, P.M., Volcheck, G.W., Garvey, L.H., Takazawa, T., Platt, P.R., Guttormsen, A.B., & Tacquard, C. (2016). Epidemiology of perioperative anaphylaxis. Presse medicale, 45 9, 758-67
Leo, E.D., Donne, P.D., Calogiuri, G., Macchia, L., & Nettis, E. (2018). Focus on the agents most frequently responsible for perioperative anaphylaxis. Clinical and Molecular Allergy : CMA, 16.
I am afraid that Semantic Scholar has wrongly assigned citations to your paper. So, this figure is wrong and the Google Scholar citation number is more accurate.
Best regards.
PS. I think it has to do with the fact that there is a highly cited paper with the same title:
Hepner, D. L., & Castells, M. C. (2003). Anaphylaxis during the perioperative period. Anesthesia & Analgesia, 97(5), 1381-1395.
