Differences in citation counts: recently published papers may not yet have citations and some papers have no citations at all. The counts per paper in Europe PMC might differ from the counts achieved in Scopus or Web of Science because we do not have access to the same content as these resources. However, highly cited articles in Europe PMC correlate with highly cited papers on other platforms, and the information on which papers are doing the citing is freely available.
