This depends on the source. We ingest from arXiv daily; from astronomy journals and other sources weekly, over the weekend; and from physics journals and other sources about once every 3 weeks, also over a weekend.

##### Q: Why is my citation count different on other platforms?
47+
While we do our best to capture citations accurately, there are a few reasons we would have more or fewer citations than you may see on other platforms. The primary reasons are as follows:
48+
- We merge the arXiv record with the published record, so that a citation for either version counts as one citation. This avoids double counting a citation.
49+
- Citations to books, book chapters, and other less formally structured content is often difficult to resolve in an automated fashion. Our citations to this content is likely under-counted.
50+
- In order for a citation to count in our system, both the cited record and the citing record must be in our system. Users are always welcome to submit missing content through the [Missing articles]({% if include.ads %}{{ site.ads_base_url }}/feedback/correctabstract{% else %}{{ site.scix_base_url }}/feedback/missingrecord{% endif %}) form linked off our feedback menu.

##### Q: My arXiv paper is missing its references.

We extract references directly from the PDF for arXiv records, which doesn't always work well, depending on reference and document format. If the paper will be published, we will get the reference list from the publisher and will update the references on the record at that point. Note also that we're working on a new module for extracting references directly from PDFs and arXiv reference extraction should improve at that point.

##### Q: How do I submit my PhD thesis?
7782
Some institutions send us their recent PhD theses directly, though it may take a few months post-defense for us to receive them. However, if your institution does not send us your thesis, you have several options to add it to our database:
7883
* [Zenodo Astronomy Thesis](https://zenodo.org/communities/astrothesis) collection: This is an open-source repository of astronomy theses and dissertations which is automatically ingested into {{ include.site }} roughly once a month. If your thesis is already indexed by {{ include.site }} but the text is not openly accessible, you can upload a copy of the PDF to make it openly available. This is a good option if you'd like your thesis to be openly available and it's not currently accessible online.

If you want the PDF to be linked to the record, it will first need to be hosted somewhere online and then you can provide the URL and other metadata using this form. If the text of your thesis is not already available online and you'd like it to be, consider submitting it to the Zenodo collection.
