Motivation[edit]
This information is available from Crossref and used as a one of multiple measures in the scientific community. We can use it to check that we link to all references with cites work (P2860) So9q (talk) 10:52, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
- I think it's more useful to directly link to the references using cites work (P2860). NMaia (talk) 02:34, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Weak support after re-reading this a few months later, I find the number might be useful to determine completeness of cites work (P2860) statements. Maybe "number of footnotes" or "number of endnotes" could be determination methods. --- Jura 10:29, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
