Dear All,

Since the mid of last September, bibliometrics (citation count) from Scopus are not retrieved in DSpace-CRIS 5.x. I’ve checked many online DSpace-CRIS installations and found that last checked date was between Sep 7, 2020 to Sep 12, 2020. So it seems this is a common problem if I’m not mistaken.

 

I was able previously to retrieve the citation count from Scopus normally, I didn’t change any related configuration recently.

 

The scopus-retrieve script  is running smoothly without any error. The Scopus API key is valid, I’ve tested it directly and I’m getting results from Scopus

For instance : https://api.elsevier.com/content/search/scopus?query=DOI(10.1021/ie400582a)&apikey=Your_Scopus_API_Key

The log file indicates that there are no results retrieved from Scopus.

 

I’m not sure if the problem is coming from Scopus provider (Elsevier) or from our side (our DSpace-CRIS installation) ?

 

Please advise.

 

Regards,

Jawad Makki

Dear Jawad Makki,

I guess your DSpace-CRIS installation use the http protocol configured
to reach Scopus endpoint. Please check your build.properties, change it
to use https (
https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/1aefe5c3ddf837bfa9dc25b4e84378db3d169a8b/build.properties#L232
), rebuild and update your installation. For a full list of
modifications to do after the removal of http support by Elsevier
please check
https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/commit/1aefe5c3ddf837bfa9dc25b4e84378db3d169a8b

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Luigi Andrea
