citation_count_scopus: Retrieving Scopus Cited-By counts
In dmpe/ElsevieR: R Wrapper for accessing Elsevier's API

Description Usage Note See Also Examples

With Scopus Abstract Citation Count API you want to show the number of times the papers have been cited by other papers covered by Scopus.

You can use OR statements in the 'query' field of the URL to get the cited-by counts for multiple documents in one go - e.g.: citation_count_scopus(value = "DOI(10.1016/j.stem.2011.10.002) OR DOI(10.1098/rsbl.2011.0293)", fields = "citedby-count", prism = "doi")

This example uses both citedby-count and prism:doi what tells the API to return the DOI for every cited-by count in the response, which will allow you to map the cited-by counts to the DOIs you passed into the request.

1 2	citation_count_scopus(value, apiKey = auth_key(NULL), fields = "citedby-count", prism = NULL, showRequestURL = FALSE)

Beware: The format must be like this: "DOI(...)", "PMID(22136928)", "SCP(82755170946)" etc.

## citation_count_scopus(value = "DOI(10.1016/j.stem.2011.10.002) OR PMID(22136928)") will not work because there is both DOI and PMID
