Lost citations on Scholar












3















Checked my citation score and it turns out three citations (from 3 different articles) disappeared over the weekend. How can this be explained? I just hope it's some weird bug in the crawler. Anything i could do about it?

    stay zen and patient ;-) There is also a google alert mail system which informs you when someone is citing your work, so you don't have to check every week...

    @Alex You cannot add citations manually to Google Scholar.

    The reason given by @BenoîtKloeckner is the most common. You may just be “in between” versions, i.e.the paper goes from arXiv to journal and there is a shot lull in the data. Note this is a time of year when this happens a lot as papers distributed in 2018 are published in 2019 with ensuing readjustment of the counting algorithm, subtracting citations from 2018 and adding them to 2019.

    The simplest thing to do is stop worrying about your citations. It is sort of like worrying about the number of 'friends' on Facebook. Worry about doing good research and writing good papers - those are things you control or influence. Whether people cite you or not is just something to accept.

Since the Google algorithm is closed source, only Google can tell.

No. You could try to write Google but I don't know any case where this turned out to be succesful.

How to label and detect the document text images

Image
1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

Tabula Rosettana

Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
