get_article_cite_history(id, pubid) sometimes is not returning

[Ruheyan]

get_article_cite_history ( ) is not returning as expected sometimes. For example, if I run

id <- "B7vSqZsAAAAJ"
pubid <- get_publications(id)$pubid
get_article_cite_history(id,pubid[30])

reports error as follow:
Error in data.frame(year = years, cites = vals) :
arguments imply differing number of rows: 24, 23

I guess it is because this paper was not cited immediately(same year/the second year) after publication. Is there any way to sort it out?

Many thanks

Many thanks. You're quite right. This was a consequence of the change in 13fa644 that was designed to catch up with changes in how Google present data. I had forgotten that it is necessary to extract the years from the code from the bars. Related to dd59a23 and 6562f1a.

Sorry, get_article_cite_history ( ) is still not working. Do you have any suggestions on what I need to do?

Restart R and reinstall scholar.
