Academic Stack Academic Stack Badge Service

Show citation impact directly on publisher article pages

Academic Stack helps publishers present cited-by counts from Crossref, OpenCitations, and OpenAlex in one consistent badge, so readers can understand article influence without leaving the article page.

Visible article impact

Display cited-by counts where readers already are: directly beside the article content.

Different citation sources

Present Crossref, OpenCitations, and OpenAlex in a single compact panel instead of sending readers to separate services.

Flexible badge styles

Use rectangle or square layouts, light or dark styling, and hover panels to fit different journal page designs.

Useful source links

When available, source rows can link readers to related citation records and citing works.

How the citation data is used

This service displays information collected from open citation APIs.

Academic Stack acts as a lightweight middleware layer: it synchronizes citation information from open APIs, prepares it for publisher pages, and presents it through a consistent badge interface.

Citation counts may differ across sources because each database counts citations within its own indexed collection. Crossref, OpenAlex, and OpenCitations do not always cover the same citing records, so their cited-by numbers can naturally vary.
