Sometimes articles in Litmaps display a lower number of references and/or citations than an article is expected to have.
This can be for several reasons why an article seems to be missing references:
We calculate citations differently than the source your comparing it to. For example: Google Scholar citation counts are usually very different than Litmaps for this reason.
We have a different version of the article.
The references/citations don't have open access metadata.
The article was published recently, and there's a delay in its citations and references appearing.
The article is cited by recently published work, so it has a delay until it registers those citations.
