I wonder whether this has to do with the crashing of the table that holds the queue for automatic updates. I guess people check on citations when they are prompted to add a paper to their profile. But that does not explain why fewer citations are available to add for those who check, which seems to be the case for Carmen Reinhardt. On Thu, 30 Aug 2012, Jose Manuel Barrueco wrote:

Hi Christian, as Thomas said I was out of office without internet access for the most part of August. From the CitEc side I can see only an important decline in the number of claimed citations since July 18. Such claiming is done on the RAS side. Do you know of changes around such date on RAS??

...

I still do not have an answer to this request, anybody can help me out?

Hi Christian For the last few months when I log in I get "We don't have any new citations for you" And I have not had to confirm any potential citations in a long while . As my ranking continues to slip by the month from 43 and now to 50, I am wondering when I am due for a citation update. The gap between the citations I see and the ones used in the rankings is about 1400 or so. Carmen Carmen M. Reinhart Minos A. Zombanakis Professor of the International Financial System John F.
