Listing authors who cite me While looking for good independent recommenders I found myself in need of a tool that can automatically compose a list of names that have cited my papers. Yes there are many ways to find out which &quot;papers&quot; cite a given paper, but if you have multiple papers and citations, extracting author names from citation list becomes challenging and time consuming very quickly. Is there a tool to do that? If not this sounds very useful and it may make sense to build such a tool, if you find it useful too.
(I guess you don't often need to find independent recommenders from strangers, but there are a couple of use cases at least, such as green card applications, job applications, etc.)
Microsoft Academic
Microsoft Academic does show such information: Click on a researcher profile, go to the tab Cited By, then look at the column (to the left of the screen) titled Top Authors. Here is an example for Christian Drosten:

If you have a profile at Microsoft Academic and claimed your publications, you can see a similar list regarding your own 'citers'.

CrossRef
An alternative approach would be the following: You could gather all the DOIs from the papers that cite you, loop through it to access CrossRef's API via https://api.crossref.org/works/{DOI}, and extract the respective author-field.
