We are happy to report that a new version 4.1 of the Scholarometer
extension has been released and it should address this issue. Authors
can again see more than 100 papers and the metrics correctly reflect
this.

If your browser is set up to automatically update the extension, you
can try again and it should work. Otherwise you may have to update the
extension and restart the browser, depending on your browser.
