Google Scholar Public Access new feature and lost citations Google's new &quot;Public Access&quot; feature invites you to upload preprints of some of your papers. These preprints are stored in Google Drive.
Today I used this feature and uploaded two preprints. Then, I realized that my total citation count decreased exactly by an amount corresponding to the citations by those two papers.
If I add up all the citations individually I still can recover my old total citation count but the right panel has a lower citation count.
Is this a bug of the new feature? has anybody experienced this?
I did the same yesterday, with exactly the same effect.
The good news: One day later, the lost citations are back.
