SSRN CiteRight citations and references service launching soon
SSRN is delighted to announce that in early July weâre going to be launching a new service called CiteRight, which shows where a paper on SSRN has been cited by other researchers, both in papers on SSRN and across the Web.
As we transition to the new system, the current CiteReader SSRN citations and references will be hidden on the system for just over week, and we expect the new service to be up and running from the beginning of July once our final testing is complete.
As SSRN has grown, we have recognized the need to adapt our citations management so that we can more quickly and accurately meet the increasing rate of submissions to our site.
Given the enormous value of citations to our authors and institutional partners, weâve spent the last year working on a completely new service called CiteRight, which replaces the current CiteReader service.
The new CiteRight service has two important elements: The first element is a fast and accurate reference extraction algorithm that can extract citations of your papers on SSRN when it is uploaded or revised. The service will be updating citation counts of papers on our site every day.
The second element is a connection to the CrossRef look up service, which means that once your paper has a DOI and starts to become cited beyond SSRN, weâll be able to display a second set of CrossRef citations for your paper to provide a more complete picture of how your paper is being shared across the Web.
We appreciate your patience as we get the new service up and running. We expect that the vast majority of papers on SSRN are likely to see an increase in their citations but do let us know if you see any changes to your papers that donât make sense, and weâll work to promptly resolve any issues.
The SSRN Team is excited to get citations and references moving more quickly on SSRN. We look forward to working with you to evolve the new CiteRight service to ensure that itâs as accurate and as comprehensive as we can make it.
Please send us any comments or feedback to support@ssrn.com â weâd love to hear from you.
