Count citations

[haesleinhuepf]

we could use the scholary and crossrefapi libraries to count citations of DOIs we have in our database. Assume DOIs are stored among urls in a yml file. Examples taken from this yml file:

resources:
- authors:
  - Katarzyna Biernacka
  name: Efficiently starting
  url:
  - https://zenodo.org/record/3490058
  - https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3490058
- authors:
  - Rebecca A. Senft
  name: "A biologist"
  url: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3002167

I would like to write a new Python script similar to scripts/auto-add-github-statistics.py . The new script goes through all entries in our yml file. For those that have a DOI link among their urls, I'd like to collect the number of citations and store them in a new "doi_statistics/20241202.csv" where the filename is the current date when the script is executed.

git-bob think about how to do this.

Hint: Do NOT modify any yml or csv directly. Write code that reads the yml file and writes the csv file.
Do NOT modify files in the resources directory!

Ok, git-bob cannot do it here due to rate limits. But a partial solution exists: haesleinhuepf/git-bob-playground#141
