Hi @HarryLegg, it’s a good question. We rely on publisher assertions to establish relationships between digital objects in their metadata, which isn’t something that can be done via a crawler. Of course it would be lovely if all DOIs were fully interoperable across RAs but absent that interoperability our mandate is only to understand the relationships between objects for which Crossref DOIs have been registered. This post from our former director of technology and research has some further thoughts about cross-RA interoperability and the larger project of DOIs as a whole, if you’re interested.
Kindly,

Hi!
I am new here, and I was wondering why some of my article’s citations are not showing up on the Taylor & Francis page. I realized I am having slightly the same problems.
My article: DOI 10.1080/2154896X.2024.2342113
On Scopus, it shows that 5 other articles are citing this article. I went to check, and I noticed that in one of the citations, the author wrote the title with a Z instead of an S, so that may be the case. However, I don’t understand why the other citations are not showing up. Is there any way of solving this?
Thanks! 
Hello @yomakanse ,
Thanks for your message. In our system, there are four DOIs that have been registered that include your DOI in the references registered with us:
10.1111/cobi.14349
10.1080/14616688.2024.2412554
10.1080/2154896X.2024.2414647
10.1080/1088937X.2024.2428462
In order for us to make a cited-by connection between your DOI and the DOI citing your work, we must have reference metadata registered with us, like this example for DOI 10.1111/cobi.14349. As you can see, Wiley (prefix 10.1111) has registered references with Crossref and your DOI was included in that reference list. Thus, we established a cited-by connection between your DOI 10.1080/2154896X.2024.2342113 and DOI 10.1111/cobi.14349.
I can’t speak to the fifth work that we’re not making a cited-by connection to, but we’re only matching DOIs registered with us which have references included in the metadata.
Warm regards,
Isaac
Thank you so much for the very quick reply Isaac!
In the case of “CrossRef citations to date” on the Taylor and Francis pages, does it mean that Taylor and Francis would have to register all citations as Wiley did?
(I was trying to add a picture of the Polar Journal website and the “CrossRef citations to date” box, but I can’t seem to be able to upload images)
If that’s the case, how could this be done?
Best,
Yousra
Hello @yomakanse ,
Thanks for following up. I have increased your privileges here in the community forum. You should now be able to post images. Can you add that to this thread?
Thanks in advance,
Isaac
Thank you so much @ifarley!
This is what I mean - on the Taylor & Francis page, the CrossRef citations to date are not updated. Do you have any idea why that is?
Thanks once again!
Hello again @yomakanse ,
Our APIs still have the cited-by count at four for DOI 10.1080/2154896X.2024.2342113.
https://0-doi-crossref-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/search/doi?pid=support@crossref.org&format=unixsd&doi=10.1080/2154896X.2024.2342113
So, either Taylor & Francis’s cited-by widget that displays the count from Crossref is broken or their call to our API is broken/in need of updating.
