An author cited my paper and it appeared in Google Scholar and everywhere, but it was suddenly disappeared.
Do you know the logic behind citation disappearance?
Thank you very much indeed!
It happened sometimes also to me. I suspect that somebody (author? publisher?) could remove the PDF copy of the paper from the repository on the Internet. This is why GS may not see it any more.
I have never experienced this. Interesting.
Dr. Kennedy should be right
If a plagiarism content is detected on the article wherein you were cited, the publishers may remove the paper on the instance of the petitioner without the consent of that author. This is just one major reason.
I experience the same thing but remained unanswered as well. it may be removed by the author for continuation of the project or some privacy issues or consent issue.
I agree with Piotr T. Nowakowski's and consider Edwin Chigozie Nwokorie's answers as good explanations.
Did you citer perhaps spell your name incorrectly, using one "m" in place of "mm"?
I have considered that possibly something caused the Google search to count a paper twice, but then subsequently the error is corrected, and the count goes back down.
I face the same, also I got citation and after sometime it went back. I hope that we can know the exact reason for this.
Regards.
When the papers are in "online status" yet, this problems may be emerged. So, you should add your published papers into the researchgate after "open access status".
Good Luck.
