<div dir="ltr">Thanks Andy, <div><br></div><div>We just started doing this in the Herpetology department a few months ago and are still working on entering in the 2700 known citations our department has (profile is here: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__scholar.google.com_citations-3Fuser-3DXHmjakQAAAAJ-26hl-3Den-26authuser-3D2&d=DwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=odyfcQ-xGnIEw5EjOoli5Ecsbxjyqqjn-H0oWD9GrWY&s=sPp61bQz4uV2KU8gPtQwDA5T0DA6Rh83zq9InbkoIMg&e=" target="_blank">https://scholar.google.c<wbr>om/citations?user=XHmjakQAAAAJ<wbr>&hl=en&authuser=2</a>). We had a separate email to link it to created by our IT department (<a href="mailto:herpetology@calacademy.org" target="_blank">herpetology@calacademy.org</a>). </div><div><br></div><div>I'm curious if you've come across an issue that we just started having with entering citations--starting<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> a couple of weeks ago, publications are no longer showing up when we search for them. Under "Citations," we used to be able to click on "Add," then use the search bar for any number of searches ("CAS Herpetology," author last name, title of publication, etc.) and then add the relevant publications to our citations list. This was especially helpful when we could pull up all publications from a single author and check off the ones that used our collection. However, searches no longer come up with anything, only "Your search - <strong>(search)</strong> - did not match any article groups." Entering each publication manually is time-intensive when we're trying to get through a couple thousand. </font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I entered a support ticket with Google Scholar last week but have yet to hear anything. Since you (and perhaps other SPNHC-ers) are using the Citations feature, I thought I'd see if anyone is experiencing the same issues and, if so, if there's a way around it. </font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">This definitely is a great way to get proof of relevancy of collections (if we can eventually get ours completed)!</font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div>Best,</div><div>Laura</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_-3987340349449087765gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(71,126,39)">Laura Wilkinson</span></b><b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,125,0)"><br></span></b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(152,152,152)">Curatorial Assistant</span><u></u><u></u></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(152,152,152)">Ornithology and Mammalogy | Herpetology<br>California Academy of Sciences<br>p. <a href="tel:415.379.5379" value="+14153795379" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">415.379.5379</a></span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:lwilkinson@calacademy.org" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue">lwilkinson@calacademy.org</span></a><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(253,90,7)"><br></span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.calacademy.org_&d=DwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=odyfcQ-xGnIEw5EjOoli5Ecsbxjyqqjn-H0oWD9GrWY&s=Yrm4hwqi6EFag5MvIIj0CSrRs6Rvm2E1Zeg-ZCIqz1w&e=" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:blue">www.calacademy.org</span></a><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(152,152,152)"><br><br>55 Music Concourse Drive<br>Golden Gate Park <br>San Francisco, CA 94118</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#1d2129">Collections are constantly looking for new ways to show their relevance and advocate for their existence. We have traditionally used stats on use of physical collections through loans
etc. and data through aggregator and web access stats (well, when they are available). We have always had a problem with getting people to feed publication use of collections back to the collections and providing a viable measure of what the total publication
count for a collection really means has been difficult. In this regard, something I have set up as an additional measure of collection relevance and advocacy is a Google scholar account for KU ichthyology that includes all publications that directly cite material
from the collection or indicate use of the collection for research.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#1d2129">I did this by creating a Google email address for the collection – <a href="mailto:KUIchthyology@gmail.com" target="_blank">KUIchthyology@gmail.com</a> – and then accumulating all publications into a Google scholar citation account which can be
found here: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__scholar.google.com_citations-3Fuser-3DFdXNWeMAAAAJ-26hl&d=DwMFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=vFSGtLM0cNpoH-UibHjf4aGdJaIApt8NFu_FNkAOY7A&s=_nIVkYcD38Orsf22poNI_AkLWRwZkl4k_MEoAy-pX18&e=" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#1d2129">Obviously accumulating these publications is the time consuming part and is hindered by the fact that specimens or data are very frequently not cited correctly or at all. This is something
that needs to be addressed as part of a broader strategy to link data into a natural history data pipeline that involves as few human interactions as possible. As such I employed a number of strategies for accumulating these:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
