We are eager to enhance our website by adding a “Cited By” section to our article pages, which would display citations of our published works using data from Crossref.
Has anyone in the community successfully developed and embedded such a “Cited By” code on their journal or publisher website? If so, could you share your experiences, including any code snippets, tools, or best practices you used? We are particularly interested in simple, embeddable solutions that integrate with Crossref’s APIs.
Unfortunately, our team lacks the technical skills to build this from scratch. We would greatly appreciate any assistance from developers or technical experts here who might be willing to help create a basic implementation or guide us through the process.
Thank you in advance.
Hello @JPsyExp ,
Thanks for your message, and welcome to the Community Forum!
I know you asked us in technical support about this and got a response from @Shayn , but I wanted to include Shayn’s response below so others in the forum could see how we, Crossref, answered your question about implementing Cited-by.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any kind of script, or widget, or prefab code for displaying cited-by data. We only make the raw data available, and each platform or publisher site arranges their own solution for how to display that information.
So, like Shayn said, we do not provide technical support for enabling Cited-by on third-party websites/platforms. All of our information about participating in and retrieving Cited-by data is available in our documentation.
Best of luck,
Isaac
